I love everything about this fireplace!  It's even more lovely in real life and it kicks out more heat than I had expected!  My husband and I originally were planning on temporarily using it in our family room and then moving it into our bedroom when we could get around to putting in a gas built in fireplace.  However we love this one so much and are so pleased with how much heat it expels, we are thinking we may just keep it in our family room permanently!  Just beautiful!
