I absolutely LOVE my TV stand. The electric fireplace is better than any I’ve ever seen. The fireplace juts out from the cabinet, allowing you to see the logs from the side as well. I run it constantly, and it makes me smile every time I see it. I have not had the opportunity to use the heater function due to weather. But, a quick test gave me confidence it will help heat my apartment, saving me money. It came in two boxes and was packed very well. It had no damage at all. I opted to hire someone to assemble it. He didn’t seem to have any issues. I encourage anyone looking for this type of furniture to choose this one. You won’t be disappointed.
