I really like the electric fireplace! The fire looks really good in person, and it heats the room fairly quickly. It is made out of press board, but the veneer looks good. It does have a warning label attached about this being a tipping hazard, but it seems rather sturdy. I have my 63 TV on it, and Im not even remotely concerned about it tipping over. It took me about an hour to unpack and put together. I recommend paying close attention to the diagrams and follow the instructions step by step. Ive had several people comment positively about this piece.
