Its a lovely stand and while it took me a while to assemble it by myself, it was not difficult putting it together. Unfortunately, upon opening the fireplace packaging, I immediately noticed that begins the glass, totally inaccessible to me or the courier, that a part of the fireplace metal or framing was bent from the interior of the unit. This is 100 manufacturing issue and since Ive already assembled it, no way am I replacing the entire unit. It would be nice if they replaced the fireplace but Ive yet to contact customer service as this just occurred now. Very disappointed, I can see the bend from across the room. Too expensive foe this level of quality.
