We replaced a "non-media" fireplace with this.  This was the only model we could find that met all of our needs (color, dimensions, media storage).  The color is accurate as shown on the website.   My husband has assembled many pieces of furniture, etc. like this and found this to be well packaged (in order of assembly), easy to follow instructions and no missing parts or damage.  There were a few minor nicks/scratches if you're looking for them.  We have this in a large room with cathedral ceilings and it still throws great heat.   The only con I can think of is that the fire is not as realistic looking as the previous fireplace we had.  Overall, extremely pleased with this fireplace!
