The fireplace is adorable and look exactly like the photo. It arrived on time, but the box was fairly damaged and the delivery person left it on my sidewalk, instead of my front porch. The fireplace was a little tricky to get together and the instructions are not that great. My husband secured both the bottom and fireplace with extra screws. It is not made of solid wood, so you must be careful when putting it together that the boards don't chip. Overall I would recommend it. We are not using it for heat, only as a mantle and with the flame.
