Exactly as described. Took a little while to put together, but it wasn't difficult by any stretch. Some of the pieces don't fit together very well and I had to drill a few pilot holes myself for ones that didn't match up. One of the boards also was finished with the white stain on the wrong side. There were certain holes drilled on the unfinished side that should have been drilled on the finished side instead, So I had no choice but to put it together with the unfinished side facing up. I'll probably just paint it myself. Otherwise, great little fireplace!
