I placed this insert in my TV ""entertainment center"" space where my old, small TV used to be. My large flat screen is now on top and the fireplace insert underneath. I absolutely could not be more thrilled with this fireplace. My guests are so astonished when I turn it on. It's beautiful and economical. It heats my living room slowly and quietly. I can't say enough about this product. Wish I could put one in every room in my house!
