I looked at every electric fireplace out there, and this was the only one I could find that was at least 4ft high. I thought we would end up putting it on a box eventually to give it more height, but when we got it set up, it turned out to be just perfect. It looks so amazing in our living room. Everyone comments on how well it blends in with my crown moulding and white baseboards; it just looks like it was originally part of the room!! Would recommend this to everyone.
