Lovely addition to my space, very cozy. Assembly took about 3 hrs as I was by myself and I’m 69. Like most things you put together you sometimes have to loosen screws and finesse it to line up. Only negative is there is a seam on the front stucco panel, but it probably won’t ruin the experience . The flames are realistic and the wood mantle is beautiful. I thought I would prefer the boho pattern surround but the black gives more contrast. I make mosaic tiles so will likely tile that in the future or perhaps cover that seam with some tiles. The stucco goes with my brick and stucco house. Prior to this I had a Chateau model in my tiny house. I loved that model but this size is larger and more suited to my room size.
