we purchased this in May and loved the ease in assembling, but only started using it the past month. Heats very well in a small room and we loved the realistic wood and stone look. The only thing we wish was different was the thermostat. Wish it was  digital programable. This one you have to adjust from the fireplace insert itself. Would be better if temp could be controled from the romote control, not just on and off.
All in all we give it 4 stars, but if there was a different thermostat it would be a 5.
