I've been wanting to purchase one of these electric fireplaces and there are so many to choose from but I wanted one in my budget that looked great and worked great. This one is it!! I didn't wait for my husband to put it together, I did it myself. Not that bad of a process actually pretty simple once you find the instructions in the box and separate the parts. It has a great look and the heat is awesome. There's even a safety feature to prevent overheating. You'll love this.
