Exceeded my expectations! I read all of the reviews and was concerned about assembling this unit, but my handyman husband put it together without a hassle (he did use a drill as another reviewer suggested). It fits nicely in our sunroom and the flames are about as realistic as you can get as far as  small fireplaces go--much like the ones you might see in an RV.  I purchased this on sale so aesthetically-speaking, it is lovely for the price! Husband wanted a huge tv, I wanted this stand with the fireplace, so it's a win-win! Delivery was on time, too! I love Wayfair, they have just what I need!
