I am fussy about furniture and the Fresno really exceeded my expectations. It's got great lines, a very nice dark brown color and lovely finish. We found it relatively easy to assemble.  It took about 1.5 stress-free hours to put the piece together. The fireplace throws a nice amount of heat and has plenty of options for controlling the look and heat of the fire. It's been a great purchase.  No regrets whatsoever.
