If you're thinking about it, buy the fireplace. The quality is excellent and the assembly was super easy. The items comes delivered in 2 large and heavy packages. The flame looks real and provides the perfect ambiance to your room. The controls are easy: Timed Shut Off, Adjustment to Brightness, Ambient Light, Temperature Adjustments, and the addition of Dynamic Embers to the flames. I'm very happy with this purchase, you will be too. If you have baseboard there will be a slight gap from the wall.
