Very cute, just like picture, though slightly darker than pictured. The instructions to put it together were very easy, there are even a couple of extra screws included. Did not have any issues with the tank, knob, or actual fire; works perfectly. The only problem we had was closing the door because the magnet was not aligned properly with the magnetic portion of the door. My husband fiddled with the different screws for over an hour and tweaked it a little to make it close properly. Love it.
