Just literally finished putting it together. I was a little intimidated to try it but finally got it done. This was a very well engineered piece in terms of putting it together. There was one part of the instructions that weren’t clear, but was able to catch and resolve before I got too far. It is beautiful. All ready to polish it up and start using it! The heat feels very nice. I will definitely enjoy the fireplace on here. You do need your own tools for this one, but just a Philips, hammer and a drill which helps with some of the screws. I did get another smaller piece from elsewhere for updating bedroom furniture. It was a nightmare to put together, so I do appreciate the design that went into this piece. Very well done.
