This fire screen is quite lovely. It has a bit of an artistic,  handmade look of brass and bronze and could be used in a variety of decorating themes. It has a Palm Springs type look with our mid-century modern living room but could just as easily mesh with a more traditional setting. There is no assembly - just a twist of the feet and it is ready to go. It is also a bit more lightweight than some heavier screens but still holds up well to foot traffic around it.  We are very pleased and would recommend to others who are looking for a unique item.
