The stove works well and the flame effect is pretty enough. However, this is the replacement we were sent after the heater on the original purchase stopped working (within a fortnight of being unpacked and plugged in). I have no idea why the heater stopped working (the light still does) but the replacement seems ok right now (10 days in). The one blessing in the whole saga is Wayfair's remarkable efficiency – it was easy to let them know something had gone wrong with the product and they sent me a replacement rightaway.
