Very happy with this product so far, especially with the look of it. The mantle, middle, and bottom piece are very solid. It took several hours to build but it wasn't difficult. While the flame doesn't look real, it still looks pretty good and has a realistic motion to it.

I did want to clarify some points about the heating function. When the heater is on, it draws about 1500w of continuous power, regardless of temperature. There is also a fan running. It's not super load but also not whisper quiet. You will notice it in a quiet room. There is also a noticeable smell, but that may due to the unit still being new and may subside with continued use. It definitely puts out some heat, even at the lowest setting.
