Easy to assemble with 2 people and overall quality is not too bad for pressed wood. The reason for the 4 stars is that 1. the remote will not work even after changing the battery to new ones and trying what the book said, 2. there is nothing to secure the top of the fireplace to the unit so whenever you have to use the buttons it is very wobbly, 3. a few places do not line up correctly on the front and the gaps are noticeable even after removing and resetting the pieces a few times to try to get a better alignment but since the quality of the bracket and screws are lacking the end result is gaps around the top of the fireplace. So for the price and quality it does a great job heating and holding our tv so there's that.
