The fireplace assembles very easy , it's made of good quality hard wood that's very durable. The fireplace has fine detail to make it look more luxurious. I really like the settings because you can turn the flame up and down so it can dim the flame a little bit of you want. The best part about the flame is how realistic it looks. The slimline fireplace is great because it doesn't take up a lot of space off the wall, it's only 9 inches rather than 16. I was also looking for a taller fireplace and this one fits perfect if your looking to put a nice wall mount above it
