After extensive research, I ordered this as a gift for my adult son. With so many different similar products/options available, I finally found exactly what I was looking for; the Upton Home Chatwyn Black Media Fireplace. It's the perfect blend of contemporary design, thoughtful features, and sturdy construction. Surprisingly, it took just one person to assemble in less than 2 hours. Everything was well-packaged, and although there was one small damaged area on one of the shelves, it was on the underside at the rear, so doesn't matter at all. The remote control for the fireplace offers so many functions, one can easily personalize the appearance of the flame, the amount of heat, light, etc. All in all, a great purchase!
