This fireplace is very attractive, adds beauty and warmth. The fire is real looking and the optional light and fire displays are great. Heats a large space. First year of ownership, hope it will last for many years. Would recommend. Update- The fireplace still works for heat and is still attractive however, the flickering flames will not flicker, the fake flame is frozen and detracts from the overall enjoyment. 

Cons: Less than a year later, Flame does not flicker as it did at first.
