Just got this a few days ago but I really like it. It took me about 2.5 hours to build (by myself) but I went slow to ensure I was getting everything together correctly. There was only one part where I wasn't sure about how a piece went in, but I just read ahead a couple of pages and the pictures showed me. Relatively easy to assemble. Pretty sturdy but this is not solid wood so don't abuse it. The reclaimed barn wood finish is very pretty. Fire is pretty and relatively realistic, heat output is nice but the unit itself does not get warm.  For the low price I paid, I'm happy with my purchase!
