My husband got it put together today and the cabnet is beautiful, he put the heater in and the heat works and the flames work. I love it, it is my christmas present to myself.

I was looking for a stand alone fireplace, not a tv stand, no bookshelves, not a corner unit and not short!

First thing you should know is that this ships in two separate boxes. They didn’t write this in the description (hopefully they have by now). I received the fireplace within 3 days but waited almost 2 weeks for the mantle. I was worried because it showed delivered with no mention that it was Box 1 of 2. Thought it was kinda weird. But, after receiving both pieces and assembling them together (husband said it was easy), it looks so beautiful. It looks great and the heater portion is perfect for our little room. So far, no issues. I’m hoping this holds up for years to come. Highly recommend.
