This is a great fireplace. It is very stylishd to look at. It has a beautiful selection of color in the fire and you can adjust both the flame and the color. You can add heat or not. No I did not realize that it was going to need to be installed by a professional and that it was recessed into the wall but that is my fault for not reading the description better. It’s really cool. I recommend it if you’re in the market for one.
