This fireplace is a great unit. It is a great size. Grand is a good description. It's almost too big for the room I put it in. Almost... :) 
It is a beautiful piece and the fire part is pretty good. Guess as good as can be being an artificial fire. You can stare at it and it's kind of hypnotizing, but the pattern does repeat. The heater seems to have a great output and will heat my entire upstairs. There is a problem with the corners aligning. Others have photographed this problem. It can be partially eliminated by having someone spot you in the front while you align the corners and screw them in place from the back. I think the remaining gap can be filled with white trim caulk and it will disappear. Great product. Only downside is not made in the USA.
