First off, this is an extremely good looking unit. It is made of real wood not pressed board which, nowadays you cannot find for this price. The fireplace insert is one of the realest looking ones I've seen. My only complaint is the heat. I've read reviews this throws off a lot of heat. not true in my opinion unless your putting it in a small closed off room. I leave this on for hours in my living room and barely get the room a couple degrees warmer unless your right up close to it to feel the difference. I do have tall ceilings so I know that plays a factor. If your looking to purchase this to heat up a room then your mistaken. Purchase it for the look not the heat.
