Larger than expected, but very nice!! I like that it came with the remote with multiple options for color and heat settings. Directions are very clear, but somewhat difficult, including removing the glass. It is also very heavy and the delivery driver just left it in the middle of my driveway minutes prior to a big storm is why I gave 4 stars. The heat this fireplace emits is very nice and will definitely come in handy heating the lower level during winter months! Overall, a nice fireplace that really brightens up and gives the lower level a nice cozy and comfortable feel!
