The fireplace arrived via UPS in two packages, making it easier for one person to handle.

The Real Flame Crawford Slim-line model being perfect for small spaces, aside, I was a little disturbed by what appears to be a child's dusty hand print on the inside of one of the mantel pieces marked "Made in China" (see photo). Also, the assembly hardware came covered in excess black oil that had to be wiped clean before assembly (my mantel is white). Thankfully, I emptied the bag of hardware onto a sheet of paper to count and organize before getting started, saving my light-colored carpet from being soiled by the mess.     

Pros: Perfect for small spaces; attractive design; easy to assemble.
Cons: Questionable child-labor practice in manufacturing of mantel; hardware almost dripping in excess oil.
