For the price we paid, this is a great accessory to our den.  Nothing will ever compare to a real fireplace, but this looks realistic enough - the flames aren't cheesy, as with other electric fireplaces I considered.  It really heats up an otherwise cold room, which was our main reason for purchasing.  The "stone" on the front looks great.  Setup was very simple - took about 30 minutes or so and my husband had it up and going.  The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because it isn't a solid back.  It's sturdy enough, but I was surprised to learn that it's more of a casing than solid wood.  If I considered the price and shipping from Wayfair into the equation, it would definitely be 5 stars!
