Everything is flat. All assembly. From scratch. Took four days and so much crying and stomping. Price is cheap because it's a labor of work, for the average person. It's nice though. The price is offered higher if it's partly assembled. I don't live it, but it suits the intended purpose of purchase. Tv fits, covers spooky attack door perfectly, blows heat into a 12x18 room well. Looks nice with just fire no heat. Two insects choice panels. I picked the smokey light great and white over the black and white pattern. If you're like me and loathe the idea of putting things together, this job can be a challenge and a test of faith in yourself. PROCEED WITH CAUTION requires lots of army strength with tools. Ugh
