So excited I finally did this! The fireplace came in two separate boxes and was packed beautifully. It took my son less than an hour to put together, and it’s  way better than I imagined. It is heavy duty and built very well. The fire looks like an electric fire, but again, it is far prettier than I expected. The sticker on the front of the class that everybody complains about , Is now a vinyl cling....So I guess they listened!  I am very satisfied with this purchase it looks like a real fireplace other than the flame… But like I said that is better than I expected too!
