We do really like the Elisandro W. Electric Fireplace. It arrived in a timely manner in fact, sooner than we expected. There were very many parts to put it together. It took my husband about 3 12 hours to assemble it. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating is because after it was assembled, it is smaller than the photos show. We were going to put it in our family room, but it now is in our sunroom. That actually works out well because it gets very cold in there in the fall and winter. The fire part of it does put out enough heat. The side panels can be lit with many different color choices. I prefer no lights, but I think it will be fun at Christmas with red or green lighting.
