We received this lovely little electric fireplace quicker than expected.  It's just what we wanted for our sunroom.  The flames are lovely where you can change the colors of the flame and logs.  The reason I gave it 4 stars is because you have to be sitting right in front of the fireplace in order to turn it off and on or change the settings.  The strange thing is that it works from one side and directly from the front but if it's just slightly off from the front then it doesn't work.  So something not quite right with the remote.
