This item looks great, and I have received a lot of compliments on it. The heater works well enough. It has one setting of heat and if you let it on for about an hour it will warm the room up to a comfortable temperature. I have only owned it a few months but have used it every single day and left it on over night multiple times. Have not noticed any impact on my electricity bill which is good. Fire display is kind of strange during the day but at night looks very realistic. This item is very transportable and I imagine I will have no trouble re-selling it used if I ever move into a space where it is no longer part of my aesthetic.
