Very disappointed. I specifically ordered this fireplace -- even though there were others that were just as good on sale -- because the description and the Q&A says (in multiple places) that it vents on the BOTTOM. Well, this is not the case with the fireplace I received. The one I received vents the heat from the top, which isn't what I needed.

I'm making it work, but had to completely rearrange my plan for where it would go and what can go around it. I'd return it, but I needed to use it right away -- oh and it's huge and heavy and would cost a fortune to return. Super frustrating. 

If you don't mind that it vents from the top, then it's an okay electric fireplace otherwise.
