I love this fireplace more and more every day. I knew that it would be a little smaller than what I originally had in mind but it works very well, not too small, not too large. I love the option of the fire without the heat. Also, although it's not a huge fireplace, it actually warms my 20 x 15 bedroom!! I have a large round mirror over it and the glow of the fireplace with the mirror above is very pretty and cozy. Installation was a couple of hours but not complicated. I also love the contrast of the white fireplace with my gray walls and I am very happy with the size of the mantel. Large enough for candles and a couple of other accessories if so desired. I would highly recommend this transitional fireplace.
