I bought this because it does a great job of matching our master bedroom set. It is not hard to put together though it does take some time and I found the directions easy to follow. It warms the room quickly and I love how you can control flame and log effects. It also comes with a remote so I don't even have to get out of bed to fiddle with the thermostat. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for the ambiance of a fireplace in their bedroom without the mess or hassle.
