I purchased this piece for my best friends daughter. She recently moved into the lower level of her dad’s place and has a little spot of her own. I wanted to give her some thing that she could store some blankets, etc. in and a spot to display things she loves while at the same time have a cozy, Warm environment with this beautiful high-quality piece. Love the remote and the different levels of warmth and control of the flame. Perfect. On the other hand, it is a little bit short but works fine in her space.
