4.5 stars.I love the design. I have it in my living room and it matches everything perfectly. I was surprised that it came in three pieces. I don't mind it though because it allowed me to change the appearance. I have it staggered right now. I have not used the fire place yet because it is hot here but am looking forward to it in the winter. It is sturdy and holds my 42 inch TV just fine. I think it could handle a much larger television with no problems. It arrived packaged very well but the Styrofoam caused some static. I just dusted it with an anti static sheet and it is fine. The brick or rock is not real. It is more delicate material than real stone. I chipped it when I was putting it together but just a small area. Overall I think the quality is very nice.
