Not to bad to put together. Having drill helped even though it says just screwdriver needed!  Looks awesome in bedroom and puts off some serious heat! Had a mark on mantle that looks like it could have been ink so I've been trying to get it off without taking finish off.  Color is perfect. Looks like an antique white. I did read other reviews where people weren't happy with the color.  I am very happy with it. I will call and let them know about the mark though!
