I had bought this fireplace after giving away another one that was to big for our home. I was concerned about if it would look ok as far as size and if  it would be strong enough to heat what we needed it for. We are very pleased with this fireplace and love the looks and the heat it gives.  I would tell anyone to buy this. It came completely put together and all we did was plug it it... thats a big plus! No damage and looks amazing.
