We received our fireplace in a timely fashion, put everything together efficiently and LOVE the look of it.   However, we are little disappointed by the heater /blower at this point in time.   We live in a cold, northern climate and had really counted on this beautiful piece of furniture to supplement the heating in our living room.   We have not found this to be the case and can only feel the warmth when we stand directly in front of the fireplace.   So we have a choice:  stand directly in front to feel any heat at all, or sit and enjoy the ambiance of the fireplace without the heat radiating any distance.  Sadly, it is only a 300 square foot space that we're trying to supplement.  

Pros: Value, appearance, delivery time, set-up, storage
Cons: Not enough radiant heat coming from the unit.   We can stand up close and feel the warmth and not see the unit, or sit back and enjoy the beauty, but not feel the heat.  I wish I could do BOTH.
