The set itself was easy enough to set up and looks beautiful in its space. Delivery was excellent, as was customer service. The reason for the reduced star is that the paint is easily scratched, which could be seen both in putting it together as well as the paint marks left on the floor when it was moved. Additionally, the fireplace, while beautiful, does not heat up the room nearly to the extent as mentioned in previous comments. 
All said, hough, it is a lovely piece.
