Its a really nice unit. It seems really sturdy. It wasnt difficult to assemble, and the instructions were clear. The color is a little lighter than the website shows. It would have been nice to have the matching woodgrain sticker to cover the bolt holes in the shelves. The reason for the 3 star is the fireplace, while looking very nice, does not produce nearly enough heat. Its in the center of my 12x23 living room, and if I turn down the furnace from 70 to 68 with the heater on full blast, it cannot maintain 70 in that room (thermostat is 8 feet from the fireplace). Knowing that now, Im not sure it would prevent me from buying it anyway.
