This fireplace added so much to my living room!  I have had this on every night since I got it.  It brings me a sense of calm and cozy and the heating feature is wonderful...I am a 68 year old woman who lives alone and assembled and mounted this on my own in less than 1.5 hours!  Don't be afraid of the weight, you take the glass off of the front to mount it and it is very easy to mount (and I have a broken wrist).  Then pop on the glass and turn it on!
