Every. Single. Person. who saw this fireplace said they were ordering it. Every. Single. One. We had set up movie night outdoors and canceled it because everyone just wanted to watch the fire :))) It makes heat without sparks, doors swing out for a nice log space. The chimney is not just decorative but really helps keep the fire going. It is SUPER HEAVY so make sure there is help to move it and when you set it down, that's where it stays. This is an investment which will bring you many years of use and pleasure. Buy it.
