I really LOVED this fireplace!! It was exactly what I had in mind and when we got it all mounted up, everything looked great!  But... unfortunately the heater unit is positioned at the top and I had mounted it below my soundbar and TV. When I turned on the heat, in a matter of minutes my soundbar was hot to the touch. That was the deal klller! Other than that, this is a fantastic fireplace. I was SUPER bummed that it didnt work out! If youre mounting this all by itself on a wall, or at least make sure there is sufficient space between it and other items above it, then this will be the perfect fireplace.
