Fireplace looks very good. Assembling it took 2 hours. One of the main issues was the imperfections-the holes didn’t line up, there was a nail in one of the holes so we couldn’t screw in the bolt and pliers were required to yank the nail out, and the directions were not always clear. The fire looks real, and it does provide some warmth but did not use heat since it is summer. It is not white, but the off white is acceptable. Happy with the purchase so far and would probably recommend.
