I absolutely love this fireplace! You’re able to have the flames on without the heat. The heater is strong enough to warm up a small living room but it is not overpowering. My 50inch tv fits perfectly on top. 

Cons It was an extremely heavy package  took my boyfriend 5 hours straight to put it together. Some of the instructions were a little off. Pay attention to the height. The unit is pretty low, but it works for my living room though.
