Wow this is a game changer in my living room! I did pay for the assembly which lucky I did because this came in three boxes and would’ve been incredibly difficult for my hubby and I to put together! The assembly expert was here maybe an hour just over an hour tops! He did a great job and was fast clean and helpful! He took out the boxes and explained how to work it too. The remote for fireplace controls 5 settings of brightness and different color settings a timer and the heat settings that go from low high or from 60 to 95! Incredible! The next remote controls lighting in the boxes and easy to use. Even make it like a slide show where it will go through each color at a fast speed or low speed ! Came as expected the draweres pull down and do a soft close!
