This is a beautiful fireplace, lightweight and well made. It seems to me my thermostat might not be working just right as it shuts off a lot, however it works good enough that sending it back would not be worth the trouble as I couldn't move it by myself. One man could carry it but I'm not a man. It is nice and cool on top which I appreciate as I have my tv on top of it. I have had it for a little over 6 months and it is still working fine.
