I bought this fireplace for our office and it looks amazing!!  It ads such class.  Directions are pretty straight forward, just don't tighten down the bolts/screws until all pieces are in place and that last bridge piece to slide right in.  The flame has multiple settings, ranging from a soft glow to a roaring fire.  This will look fantastic in the winter here in Northern Michigan.  Now all I need to do is accessorize it.  Love this!!
