This is a well built piece of furniture, very sturdy. The fireplace works very well. Love the realistic looking logs. It was a nice surprise that the inside of the fireplace has a light. Looks awesome at night. I had a missing piece and they were very good at sending a replacement part quickly. The only recommendation I would make is to check over each piece for consistency in staining. I put it all together before I noticed a somewhat large area that was oddly stained. Noticble. I know they would have been happy to send me another replacement but I did not want to take it all apart again. It is a bit time consuming to put together!
