I love this little free-standing fireplace.  The flame is realistic.  There are color choices and log or crystal options and a heater.  All I wanted was a right-sized fireplace for our space and a realistic, peaceful flame.  It's perfect for what I needed.  It was well packaged and assembly was not difficult.  It arrived in perfect condition and I hope it lasts for a very long time.  I've had it for a few days so far.
