Love, love, love this electric fireplace!  It looks exactly like the picture - it is just slightly distressed, which is exactly what I wanted!  The flame is amazing and looks so real!  It gives off great heat when testing it, but I've not let it run for a while yet since it's still summer here!  I ordered this fireplace on Wed and had it on Friday - with free shipping!  Wayfair does an amazing job and I just hope they keep it up!
