Great for my needs. The heater puts out great heat and the console itself is pretty sturdy. Things you'll want to know: there is a middle seam (straight through the top that would bisect the console in half). I have a sound bar so it doesn't bother me but it might be something other's would want to know about. Also, the flames/"crystals" are as they appear. It's obviously not the best quality that you can get but it does it's job for the price!
