I am very happy with the taller size of this fireplace.  It was challenging to put together, as other reviewers had stated but it looks nice and substantial.  Our home was built in 1907 and it fits in beautifully.  I had wanted it in white but it was out of stock so I got black and I’m glad that I did.  It has a nice size mantel for decorating.  We will also appreciate the extra heat this winter.
