This fireplace is perfect for my den.  It really added a nice touch to the room.  I like that it has two switches for flame and heat, so you can run the flame without heat.  We chose the logs for a traditional look, but it comes with crystals as well if you want a contemporary look.  My only complaint is a noticeable gap on one side of the front where the joints come together.  Looking forward to decorating the mantle!  Overall, a great piece!
