My fireplace stove is just what I expected.  I am 85, live alone, and have a bad back, but managed to get it inside, unboxed and assembled.  Made of heavy metal and glass, and I only had to put the legs on. The flame color variations are nice.  The remote commands are a little slow to respond.  I still haven't received my 3-year protection plan.  Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.
