Using this in a bedroom. Modified wood buring manufactured fireplace to electric in an upstairs master bedroom. I did frame in the opening to use the Dimplex. We converted because we absolutely do not want to deal with a wood burning firelplace in an upstairs bedroom. Code won't allow a gas log fireplace in a bedroom. Electric was the answer. We only did this because the flame and log glow is so realistic. It passed my wife's eye test. Dimplex seems to have mastered the real look. Very happy with this fireplace. Like the idea it is a plug-in insert.
