It looks nice, but it doesn't throw the heat as I thought it would. I purchased another fireplace, a different brand, one year ago, and it warms up a living room very quickly. This one has no heat, and the only warm area is one foot away from the fireplace. In the description, it should warm up to 1,000 sq ft. No, it doesn't warm up the room—only a foot from the fireplace. I am freezing now. I gave it two stars because it's a nice decor for my room.
