I finally had time to put my new fireplace together yesterday afternoon.  It is exactly what I wanted for my guest bedroom -- such a great looking finish to the room!  I'm not the most mechanically inclined, so it took me about 2.5 hours to put it together, but with careful reading of the picture instructions, I was able to put it together properly.  It is quite sturdy, so I feel the quality is top notch.  Another purchase about which I'm happy I made!
