I gave this as a gift late Xmas gift. It took 3.5 hrs exactly to assemble it and it came out wonderful. Its brown and its heats up an entire family room . It has a remote to adjust how bright you want to make the flame as well as what temp you want it to go up to. 82 is the highest.  The drawers were no issue. I read a few had issues with the drawers going in and out and that was not our case. I added some wd 40 so it will go in and out smoothly. We loved it.
