We have a gas log fireplace that has a hanging screen. But we got kittens and needed something more sturdy. This works amazingly and is beautiful! Note that when having your fire on, for us with the gas stove, it doesnt allow as much heat through with the screen doors shut. So, we actually have two ways to enjoy our fireplace. Doors shut takes the chill out of the air and makes a warm ambiance. Doors open makes the room toasty and warm.
