This fireplace looks great in our family room. We wanted to replace our wood burning fireplace with a cleaner, easier unit. Now that we have it we use it every day. The Dimplex was a little more money but glad that I went that way as the fire is very realistic. I looked at so many but was restricted to size and height. The only thing I didn't realize was I thought it came with the different colors but this particular model does not. I especially like the mirror behind which reflects the flames. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase.
