Once put together it looked very nice.  There are lots of parts so you will need lots of layout space to assemble.  It take a good couple of hours to put together once you figure out the instructions.  This does not take special tools to put together, just a simple screw driver and a hex bit.  this feels really solid and durable but I don't think you should move it holding on to the top, only from the bottom.  Don't lose any special fasteners because they don't give you extra.

The fireplace works very nice and we love the remote that comes with it.
