Beautiful! Love love love this fireplace!
I painted the ornamental carving with antique gold craft paint.  Everyone who walks through the door comments on how beautiful and expensive this fireplace looks.  One reviewer commented on how small the firebox is, it's not that small.  The flame is very realistic.  It throws out a good amount of heat as well.  It heats up my living room/dining room - a 14x30 area - very nicely. There is a backlight that is in addition to the flame light, if you want additional light.  There is a remote as well.  I'm a 61 year old women, fairly handy - I assembled the fireplace in about 1 hour with no assistance.  Was very easy and the instructions were very easy to follow.
