Fireplace is great and puts out a lot of heat. Just what I was looking for. The ability to change the color of the fire is just awesome. I waited a while before posting this to really get a good feel for it and break it in. Going into my 2nd winter and it's perfect! The hideaway drawers are a plus. Everything nice and neat the way I like it. Have someone that's handy to put together. It's not that heavy as my old one which was solid wood. This is much lighter to move around. The color is great. Not yellow at all.
