Gorgeous fireplace! It was easy enough to put together (I did it in under an hour, and I'm a 52-year-old clumsy woman). And it looks perfect! The remote works easily enough. If anything, I wish the manual included more details on the screen: e.g., why I have to tap the power button twice to turn it off (first tap just makes the LED beachball). It puts out decent warmth (my room is too big for it to make a huge difference, but I love that it puts out heat without making the fireplace or surrounding wall warm (especially since I put it directly before my TV). I love the atmosphere it gives my rather plane room. I'd buy this fireplace again in a heartbeat.
