I was looking for a fireplace insert that would heat a large room but also hold a large tv.  I looked through tons of options, but every one was either extremely expensive or had (in my opinion) really ugly looking logs.  I finally found this one and thought it was too good to be true but it is just what I wanted.  My husband was able to put it together in under an hour and only needed my help with putting the top onto the base.  The fire looks great and I like that I could choose between rocks or glass.  Hopefully it lasts a while, but overall this was a great purchase for the price.
