A few of the boards came cracked but thankfully the cracks weren’t deep enough to cause them to break. The instructions were all pictures and was good until half way thru and started to not make sense. Some of the parts didn’t look the same but we were able to manage and get the unit all together. Also the doors are not aligned properly and is very difficult to openclose without issues. We don’t plan to have anything inside so it’s fine. Overall, it looks great. The electric fireplace is beautiful and works well.
