What a lovely looking and warm MULTI-Media Center with fireplace! Although my place is small, I have always wanted a fire place. Well, when I saw this unit, I took a chance  bought this ... its like a conversation piece with guests. Its triples in value by the following uses at the same or single time 1. placing  storing media items, 2. gives heat if desired, and, 3. looks like theres a fire place in my living room. Yes, I would highly recommend this product... worth the price!
