Not recommended. First problem is the noise. If you're watching tv or listening to music you'll have to turn the volume up to compete with the fireplace. If you want some quiet you'll have to turn this off. Secondly, it's made of flimsy material. You can see from across the room it's a cheaply assembled product. Mine arrived already damaged. Underneath the plastic was damaged in three places. The inside packaging was taped back together making me think it was damaged before shipping. Wouldn't buy again.
