I really like this stove! Bought if for my elderly mother. She had a wood stove in the house that hadn't been used for years, so we had that removed and put this in its place. It's simple for her to use, and I'm sure the heat will be welcome in the colder weather. My only complaint is with putting it together. The pieces would be easier to identify if they were marked with a little sticker that matched the directions and had an arrow to show front and back on each piece. Other than that I'm very pleased. Very quiet operation. Nice looking flames.
