This fire place came packaged very well. Everything was numbered and made assembly easy. It took my husband and I two hours to put together. I had been looking for a fireplace and this one stood out. The price was more than I wanted to pay but I just went for it. So glad I did, it's absolutely beautiful! The flames look real and it gives off a good amount of heat. We will enjoy this fireplace for years to come! Don't hesitate to buy it it truly is gorgeous!
