This is a cute, compact solution to the winter blues.  I have moved into a condo with a single electric control which means that I have been paying a fortune in bills to heat empty rooms.  No matter what you do, some heat seeps in.  Now I keep the thermostat a goos 4 degrees lower than normal and find that I am quite comfy in my family room area.  Eventually I will purchase a full fireplace insert but for now I'm happy with this price point, and with the chance to try out an electric fireplace before having to pay for an electrical outlet to be added.
