My fiancée and I purchased this piece of furniture to begin furnishing our home before our wedding. I was very impressed with the fast shipping and packaging. However, the only complaint I have is that is took HOURS to put this piece together. Yes, HOURS! Normally, my family, as well as my fiancées, are pretty good at putting things together. This was a headache! Now that the fireplace is finally put together, it is absolutely stunning and I have no complaints. My advice Follow the directions. It may seemed like youre putting it together wrong, but youre not. Also, I would HIGHLY suggest that this piece be placed in small rooms. Larger rooms will dwarf the size of the fireplace. So of youre room is small like ours, it will be a perfect fit!
