I have wanted a Fireplace forever and this one is PERFECT! It works great, blows out a lot of warm air (kind of surprised me), looks fantastic in my house and will be beautiful at Christmas time. It only took my husband and I an hour and a half to put it all together and the reward was well worth the time and effort spent building it. I cannot wait for Christmas.....(I wanted to set up for Christmas the day in came in)!!! What I got for the price was better than I could have ever imagined.
