Updated 11/15- it's started to run very loud, however it's not the blower/heater that runs loud, it's the flame effect. Sort of annoying. 

I love this little fireplace! The compact size is perfect for my tiny home office. Other reviews complained that it wasn't high quality. It definitely isn't "fine furniture"- but it's not "cheap" either. I do wish it had a thermostat and turned off when it hit it, but turning it off is easy enough. It runs extremely quiet (amazing for working next to it) and does kick out a substantial amount of heat. Also it's hard to get a sense of the color online. It's definitely a dark french blue with brushed subtle brass-colored colored feet, no teal color in it really. Installation of logs instructions was confusing, but I think I figured it out.
