The fireplace came in two packages which came on two separate days - which was perfect. I put together the fireplace frame which was easy. It took a little time but I did it all by myself except lifting the mantle. It fits together seamlessly which feels strong and sturdy. It is so pretty with the shiplap look and modern farmhouse dark wood mantle. The electric firebox was also easy (only 4 screws) to add and ta-duh! Can’t wait for cold weather and football games!
