This fireplace is nice in our room but it is a lot smaller than I realized from the photos.  It looks quite undersized with our TV on top of it, but is still a nice addition. 
It went together fairly easily and the flame looks good for an electric fireplace.  We bought this because our pups love to lay in front of a fireplace.  It puts out some heat but the heat comes from the top of the metal box so it blows over the top of the dogs which was a little disappointing.  Overall it's a nice fireplace unit.
