The Fireplace is a beautiful piece of furniture.  I originally bought it because I wanted an item which I thought would look great underneath my flatscreen TV.  It not only looks great but is great to warm up the area in which I have placed it.  It was set up within a short time after I received it by my husband and son. The remote makes it very easy to control from any location in the room. As I previously mentioned, it is a great value for the price. I am not the only one who loved this item.  My husband and children really have enjoyed it and I have also received numerous compliments from family and friends who have seen it.
