I have to admit that I was a little bit apprehensive about the setup of this TV stand, but I shouldn't have been! This was super simple and easy to set up completely by myself and only took me about an hour. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. The stand is really sturdy a lot sturdier than I expected and is absolutely stunning. The fireplace looks wonderful and puts out a nice amount of heat. You can also just turn on the fireplace light which I love since we're moving into the spring and summer months. So now I can enjoy the firelight without the heat. This product has exceeded all of my expectations in every aspect and has now become a source of comfort in my home.
