Pros: It is a petite size which works great for my small apartment.  The color is beautiful even though it seemed far darker than the photo suggested, and the fireplace provides a great warmth that really pulls the room together. The adjustable shelves on both sides have allowed me to set up my stereo system with ease. 

Cons: Assembly went smoothly except for the instructions for the door hinge assembly, and the fireplace itself.  I ended up having to redo the hinges but everything worked out. They package everything into one large very heavy tall box so I recommend getting a dolly of some kind.  Some of the finish came chipped but they do give you a pen to cover dings and scratches.  Assembly took 2 1/2 hours.
