I would LOVE this if it hadn't come with a a big gap, dead center where there used to be a knot in the wood.  I know it says distressed finish, but knot holes don't cut it for me.  I would gladly return this if it didn't weight a ton and if I still had the packaging intact.  Instead, I will have to fill the hole with wood putty or something.  Otherwise, it is very attractive.  Don't be fooled by the word "wood" in the description.  Some of it is solid wood, but some is pressed wood with veneer.  I haven't tried the fireplace yet, but it's made by Dimplex, a really good brand in electric fireplaces, so I'm not doubting its quality.
