I’m in LOVE!!! My kitchen area was an addition and did not have a built-in heat source and the previous heat source stopped working, so I just needed a replacement and wanted something before winter of course. This is exactly what I wanted for my kitchen and seating area. It gives warmth, but, also beautiful ambience. Well, I do love the flames of a real fire, I don’t want the hassle or the cleanup. This is a really beautiful piece and I’m just thrilled with it! Also, it was easy to assemble – – I assembled it by myself. I would recommend it absolutely!
