This is an awesome item for the price considering I was just looking for a tv stand.  It wowed me!  I purchased it for a lower level entertainment area that was recently updated.  It really brought the whole space together.  The Heritage Pine finish has several lighter and darker areas of color in it so as to bring all the different finishes of our other furniture together.  This is not a solid wood piece but veneer over particle board and wood.  The fireplace works beautifully and really looks like a real fire.  The heater in it works nicely also.  My husband, who has some experience in building things, assembled it in about 2-3 hours by himself.
