I am over the moon happy with this fireplace. Not only is it beautiful, it is the perfect size for the space I needed it for. It warms my apartment in no time on those particularly cold evenings we get in the north. I had thought I might be disappointed in my choice as this item does not have any media storage compartments, but I am not….at all. The clean lines of this unit give it an upscale look. The flames, with or without heat, are realistic. I was able to put it together myself without any complications (I am 67 years old with a chronic bad back). Thank you again Wayfair for a quality item at a reasonable price, that adds a touch of class and coziness to my living room.
