I absolutely LOVE my new fireplace. My best friend bought a gel fireplace 2 years ago for her new house so I already knew these fireplaces were beautiful but my excitement over having my very own is out of this world. I LOVE it!!!! The directions were easy to follow and I put the fireplace together on my own in probably an hours time (FYI, I am a 45 year old female, accustomed to putting things together on my own). My only complaint about the construction is that the fireplace insert that actually holds the gel cans and faux wood log just slips in, lacking any mechanism whatsoever to hold it in place. Basically, pushing it against the wall secures it in the mantle piece. :/ Not a deal breaker or anything, but it seems idiotic not to have latches or screws to secure it. That being said, this item is GORGEOUS, sturdy, and worth every penny! I love, love, love, love it. My advice is to not hesitate if you are on the fence about purchasing- just go ahead and do so (that, and don't tighten the screws too much until you get the whole mantle piece together- then tighten them all. This will allow all of the edges of each piece to align perfectly with one another). Thanks for another wonderful addition to my home, Overstock! Note: Only 2 cans of gel are burning in the accompanying photo- it is possible to burn 3 at once.
