I love how this fireplace screen lays flush to the fireplace opening.  It is very clean and streamline and has a modern feel.  It also is very sturdy and has magnetic closures to keep it closed tightly.  We got the bigger size to make sure we have full access to the opening to have plenty of space to get fire logs in, and I think that was the right decision.  It also has an option to screw into the brick from the legs that attach to the back for extra stability.
