Love the flame alternate colors.....expected black and got red frame...huh...too much of a hassle to return. Also the fireplace area is quite small, smaller than I expected. Easy to instiall ON wall but sticks out about 6 inches which I did not expect. Watch your dimensions if you order this and note you need a lot of space around it for heat to flow. This would not work better as an IN WALL unit due to the thickness and the heater would then be inside the wall. I have not tested the heating yet....the heater sounds pretty loud though. Beautiful but not quite right. Part of the main unit was bent but you cannot see it once on the wall.
