This credenza is incredibly beautiful. It's very long...(longer than my old one) and a bit narrower than my old one. Ours is the black one. The front is polished black (plastic) and the top has a feel almost like a laminated vinyl. Anyway...it's stunning and very modern looking. The fireplace is the focal  place in the living room now and though we seldom use the heater...which works really well, we enjoy just seeing the flames dancing over the crystal LED 'rocks'. Plenty of storage below...all of which I actually haven't even used. I love the LED lights in the top cabinets on either side, which have many different colors to choose from. I added my own strip of LEDs across the back which add an extra nice touch. It's great having a remote control to manage everything from the actual heat and also the flames.
