The fire screen is pretty cheaply made, and has visible manufacturing issues. For example the wires came damaged, but I didnt ask for a replacement because honestly I just dont believe this manufacturer could produce something perfect, giving this passed QC (it was not damaged during shipping, clearly.) Having said that, when placed in front of a fire it works perfectly well, and fits our place nicely. I provided a photo of a fire with and without the screen and you can see that it is pretty minimalistic, which is nice. It also lets plenty of heat through - which is nice. Overall it serves its purpose, and I dont notice the wiring issues unless Im up close. Would probably recommend, I guess it works for what I need.
