The directions were not as clear to us. There was no mention that the bookcase sides were meant to be uneven. We thought we were putting it together wrong.
I was sent two #4 bookcase bases. Had to wait a week for the #3 base.
The mantle top edges seem a little rough. Like the wood has flaws in it there. And the top was finished even though the wood piece had flaws.  
So far the fireplace functions are good.

Pros: It is mostly made of hard wood.
Cons: The finish is not perfect and we did not receive all the correct pieces.
