By far one of the best purchases I could have made. I had a vision of a fireplace in my new home and searched for months for the perfect size, color, and PRICE. I closed on my house on 410 and this was my first purchase for my new home. It arrived in about 2 weeks and I put it together in about an hour. Its so beautiful and is so comforting in the living space. My kids love to lay in front of it. I havent used the heat portion as I live in South Florida but the ambience of the flickering flames light up the room.
