This turned out to be a fantastic electric fireplace. We really like the metal construction. The flame-effect is really good. And perhaps the best part is that it has a low-wattage setting, so when you just need to augment the existing heat in the room, you can set it for just 500W instead of the high-heat 1,500W. We’ve been moving it around from room to room, wherever we happen to be sitting for the evening. I would definitely buy this product again.
