This is a fabulous fireplace!  I bought it in white to go against a white brick wall downstairs and it really gives the room a wonderful, warm ambiance.  A lot of people assumed it was a gas fireplace.  A bit of time was spent putting it together but it was well worth it.  I had to redrill some of the holes since they were too small but who cares?!!  It looks and works perfectly!  Love the little remote too!
