I received the product and my 9 year old son helped me put it together. Takes about 1.5 hours to assemble. Instructions are not to bad but good enough to assemble. The fireplace when lit looks very real. The best we have seen. Is also a nice ambience to sit in front of and keep warm. This is a good product. Something that you do not want to move around a lot because it is heavy and the screws may not hold it together. The only thing I would change is how it is put together sturdy but not the sturdiest item I have built. Overall this is a nice product and worth the money.
