Went together fairly easily with just one person assembling it. Seems quite sturdy with a solid wood top. The heater puts out nice warm air. The flame is pretty & have been enjoying it in the evenings. I feel it was worth the price. My only regret is there is no remote & flames/temp are not adjustable, only on & off. This is why I only gave it 4 stars vs 5. I do like that the flames and heat are separate switches and can be used independently or together. The doors roll smoothly & the shelves are quite stable & adjustable. Plenty of room for storing games or dvds/cds
