At first the fireplace arrived damaged, I’m assuming from shipping since the box was pretty beat up, but Wayfair sent and new one and now WE LOVE IT. Puts off a lot of heat. Only thing we don’t love is that there are red flames that look kind of strange. Was ok to put together. My handy husband had no problems with that. It’s the typical particle board quality that you would expect but it looks very elegant and will do the trick. Was just what we wanted! I would recommend this product.
