Upon moving to our new house that is without a fireplace, this fireplace now brings back some of the warmth, heat, and realism that we had in our previous home that had a very large stone fireplace. We have been very pleased with the wood quality, heater performance, and other the features of this electric heater in the past two weeks. It keeps our 15x 21 living room very cozy on a cold night. Since our house is a ranch style now, we believe this heater will heat more than just the living room since we have not had its thermostat turned up above 73. We would recommend this product to others.
