THE BADS - This does not sit flush against our fireplace. At first we thought perhaps the stones in front of our fireplace were uneven, but we tried setting the screen flush on several other flat walls in our house, and eventually got out a level, and it looks like one of the sides is warped. A lot of other reviews say their screen sits fit flush against their fireplace, so it seems like we just got a dud, which is a bummer. Additionally ours arrived with a small divot in the top, but it's barely visible unless you are looking for it. THE GOODS - Relatively heavy-duty, especially for the price. Looks nice, except for the part where it doesn't sit flush. We put a shim under it and got it to sit mostly flush on three out of four edges. We think it will do its job. And it was one of the least expensive options so some flaws might be expected.
