This stand is a perfect addition to my house. It's trendy, functional and solid. The delivery package weighed 250 lbs, so getting it in the house took an extra person. The assembly was easy to follow, but surprisingly took 2 hours. I didn't believe the other reviews who mentioned this, but it did. 

The directions were not clear about the fireplace installation, but it slides in from the back. The fireplace looks great, but sometimes makes a scent. 

Most visitors comment how great the piece looks in the room. If you are debating it's worth it.
