We looked at quite a few of these type units and decided on this one mainly because of the dual position ability. We currently have it in a corner where it looks great and works perfect. The fireplace is beautiful and the ability to add some heat into the room is a nice addition. Knowing my wife, we'll be enjoying the fireplace even in the summer, the embers and flame look so much better than others we looked at. Eventually we'll be moving it to a place on a flat wall, so the ability to lower the rear shelf and fit flush to the wall makes this the perfect unit for us. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone that may be torn between a corner unit and a flush wall unit, this one does it all. Construction was fairly easy but 2 people are almost required to align and hold the pieces.
