Absolutely love this item.. It was exactly as I expected if not better.  The fire place gets very hot and heats up a big room or can just be lit up for decoration. The remote has a timer and a bunch of different settings to chose from. It also has the perfect amount of space for storage. I did a lot of research when purchasing this and am super happy with my decision.  Plus the delivery was a week early thats was a big plus.  Only downside was the assembly the direction have no words only pictures so make sure you take your time and double check things.  Would def recommend
