I just moved from a condo that had a gas fireplace and was really bummed that my new place did not have one. I started researching  electric fireplaces as an option, however I was really nervous it would look cheesy and would be obvious that it was not real flame. I searched high and low to find the right one. I read other reviews and pictures and this one looked quite realistic. I must  say it did not disappoint at all. I absolutely love it in my new living room. The French  country style is classy and modern all at the same time. Also the flame looks so real many people have not even  know that it is electric. I could not be more happy with this purchase, and the price point is amazing as well compared to others I looked at. My picture does not do it justice, I could not capture the flames in action.
