Best looking space heater ever.  Electric fireplaces have come a long way.  4 stars because mine arrived dented in the back.  I turned it on and it sounded like a cat trying to claw out of an aluminum garbage can.  I unscrewed the back and popped out the dent--now it works perfectly, no noise.  Can use just the flame function on summer nights for lighting, heat function in winter.  Love it.
