We love the design and color.  It’s sturdy, too.  The assembly was easy - took us about 2.5 hours working with 2 people.  The electric fireplace assembly is one piece - just put it in place, plug it in and turn it on.  The one complaint we have is that the fireplace assembly is barely attached to the rest of the unit, with just two small brackets at the bottom of the unit.  And the fireplace isn’t even connected to the brackets - they just serve as stops to keep it in position.  You have to drill holes into the shelf to connect the fireplace and we didn’t like that very much.  Turning on the fireplace is done with a couple of switches on the faceplate of the unit.  When you use those switches it really feels like the fireplace will tip over - it’s not really secured to anything!
