I purchased this product because we have a little one on the way and want to keep small hands away from soot and fire.  We have a very ornate fireplace and did not want to purchase anything that would take away from to focal point.

I was careful to measure the exact dimensions needed and this sparkguard is true to size.  It blends in to our black fireplace so you barely notice its there.

Some assembly is required for the 3 legs.  It does wobble a little but this is probably based on the floor although ours is marble so was a bit surprised at this.  Seems the center leg is the culprit.  Its screwed in appropriately but the unit is still not completely flush to the floor due to the leg variation.  It's close though.

If you are looking for a no thrills look to a sparkguard as to not take away from your fireplace but still is sturdy, this is the one for you.
