mirrored finish is so unusual I had to grab one. It replaced a mirror over dresser never liked, and then in nighttime we turn on the fire effect with included remote. heat, if required vents from the top of the unit. chose to blend together all of the inserts on inside which looks cool to me. Sadly, doesn’t support multiple colors but overall very pleased. There is a slight hum but it’s tolerable so far. Fire in mirror format is tremendous.
