I absolutely love this fireplace.   Although it was VERY heavy for me to bring up to my 2nd floor apartment, it  was pretty simple to assemble.  I only gave it 4 stars because it is made of MDF and in transport it seems one piece was slightly damaged. Thankfully it was not in a noticeable place, so I was able to finish assembling the piece and have no visual defects.   It gives off a great amount of heat in my small living room and provides the perfect ambiance for a cozy night in.  Its a great looking piece at an amazing price.
