Love this fireplace. Small footprint (25”).  Looks authentic.  Very easy to assemble...only have to attach the legs.  I was a bit worried that the plastic legs would not be sturdy, however, the legs are very stable. Use the fire at night for ambiance. Can use with or without the heater.  The heater works very well for my bedroom and has an adjustable thermostat. Just wish it had a remote control. Overall, happy with this fireplace.
