I wanted an electric fireplace for a while and researched different products.  I chose this Electric Fireplace because of it's size and realistic look.  I was very pleased with the product.  It looks wonderful in my family room!  The fire is very realistic and it heats up my entire room!  The only negative comment would be it took longer to put together than I thought and 2 of the wood pieces were a little warped.  We made it work because we did not want to go through returning and putting it together again.  It's a small issue compared to the beauty of this product. Great  value, fire is very realistic, beautiful product. Took longer to assemble.  A few wood pieces warped.
