This piece is absolutely B E A U T I F U L !  I was concerned that there was assembly to be done, but the hard work is already done before it arrives.  It takes very little time and effort to put together the pieces.  The construction and color of the piece are on par with what I would expect to find at a high end furniture store.  The electric fireplace gives a relaxing ambiance to the room, and the optional adjustable heat gives our 15' square living room just enough coziness when we want it.  We have a 60" TV above the unit, and size wise they compliment each other well.  I would definitely recommend this piece to anyone!
