I got it in black; it is a beautiful fireplace, nice and high, great size. The flame is beautiful, fairly real-like. I checked other websites for price and reviews, and the original price is what you see elsewhere, so getting this for around $900 was awesome! The reviews are consistent and positive. All in all this is a great fireplace. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the white laminated frame around the center of the fireplace, I don't like it and find it gives it a little bit of a cheap feel; I'll be painting it once I decide on the colour I want so not a problem. I tested the heating, seems to work well; not sure if I'll use it much, but I guess on really cold winter nights it can be an extra source of heat.
