Solid wood construction with a better in person appearance then the provided web page photograph.  Although some other fireplace entertainment center offerings provide a "classic log" alternative choice, sadly this unit does not, however the provided contemporary style fireplace is a Dimplex model, which IMO has one of the best electric flame reproductions.  Well packaged and totally assembled, you only need remove some shipping restraints to take the fireplace from a separate box and then slide it back into place for a perfect fit.
