I purchased spring 2019 almost daily enjoy the feeling of "home" with the realistic flames. The log set fit into my fireplace even though it's were slightly smaller than the "minimum" dimensions but with a local distributor's display model and my paper template of my fireplace size, I was able to confirm log set would fit before my purchase. Although grate is plastic & must be carefully handled, once in place, there is no need to move. Only have used heat once so far but look forward to my first winter without hassle of burning wood.
