There was damage to the object on various pieces, that luckily was hidden once put together. Except for the top piece which has the holes to secure to back panel on the wrong side. It's too much of a hassle to take it apart and return it. I'm just going to fill in the holes and color them. However all together the piece looks really nice and the fireplace works great. If it wasn't for the constant defects I would have given it 5 stars. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it because it's definitely not worth $600.
