This is a beautiful piece. I absolutely love this fireplace and cannot believe I waited years to finally buy one. 
I always thought an electric fireplace would look fake, well I was completely wrong.  
This fireplace also gives off a ton of heat with very little sound to it. 
This was easy to put together by following the instructions, it took about a half hour but it all went together nicely. It is a nice quality piece. I had no damage at all from shipping either. 
All and all I would 100 recommend this to anyone looking for an elegant looking fireplace that does give off a great amount of heat.
