First off, let me tell you that this took over 2 hours to put together. And my son and I are REALLY quick at putting items together. And....totally worth it. I love it! Not only does it make the living room feel cozy, but its just in time for Holiday decorating. The heater is small and it will help warm a room during those cold Ohio winters we have, but dont depend on it feeling like a wood burning fireplace. Aesthetically pleasing and Im completely happy that I chose this.
