We were very impressed with this fireplace. Has a beautiful flame, classy crystals resembling embers and all the settings you really need. When you have central heat, you don’t need it from the fireplace and the lack of heat makes it more reliable (we hope) and a slimmer profile. My only gripes with it were 1) that the dimensions listed online weren’t exactly correct and it led to me having to readjust the wall that I built and 2) the only way to wall mount it is from the back which made it necessary for me to mount it and basically build a wall around it (see photo) It would have been much easier to work with and to remove, if required in the future (assuming it will be) if there was a bracket allowing me to mount it from the top or side. Not major issues, but god help me if it breaks now because I will have to take most of the wall down to get it out of there.
