It was tough finding a screen that would fit our fireplace due to the dimensions, but i decided to give this one a shot. Unfortunately, it does not sit flush against the brick, but I am happy with the way it looks. More than anything, I love the gate, to make it easy to get the fire going with the coming cold, but also keeping the kitten out of danger. I really didnt want to have to move the whole screen to make any adjustment, so this does simplofy things. My only complaint, really, is that the gates stick. That makes it hard to open and close, but i believe that will get better with time and use. Also, i am glad that it does not rely on a pressure fit to remain closed, since there are magnets to keep the gate from swinging back open.  I would definitely reccomend this to anyone that needs to be able to keep a barrier between their fireplace and children or pets, since you also get functionality out of the screen. Really happy with the purchase!
