It's on the smaller side of electric fireplaces I've seen but it's the first one I own, and it's CUTE! My living room is small so it doesn't look out of place or anything. I do wish it was a bit higher but I plan to buy a shelf/drawer to put underneath so I don't need to sit down so low to enjoy watching the flames. They're very realistic! And the heater is small but mighty - heat can be used with or without the fake fire. Love it so far!
