This fireplace is absolutely beautiful.  I got it in Chestnut.  Super easy to assemble, Every part is labeled so there is no question of where to place it.  Even has an arrow telling you which part goes up.  I did have one little glitch and that was one screw and whatever holds popped out and appeared not to be correctly threaded.  Called the company and they sent me extra screws to replace it very promptly.  I like this product so much that I am going to order another one, but will only purchase a Real Flame fireplace because they are so realistic and easy to assemble.  I would give it more stars if I could.  I agree with others who said do not tighten down all the main screws tightly at the beginning, that way you can square it up quickly and then tighten down.
