This is just one beautiful piece. It was WAY beyond my expections. If you measure your opening, there is still a bit of extra room on the sides and since the top is arched, it adds a touch that says it cost more than it did. It brought our entire room together. The two doors that open are a must for putting the wood in and the doors close tightly so no gaps for burning "pieces" to escape. The best part, besides the looks, is that it is heavy enough to hold its own.
All in all, a very sturdy, beautiful and functional piece to add richness to your room.
Do not hesitate to make this part of your home.
