I have been searching for a white fireplace that was not only beautiful, but functional as well. This fireplace is definitely everything that I have been searching for! The fireplace came in two packages that were delivered no more than 2-3 days apart. The first package included the fireplace insert. The second package contained the actual mantle which you will have to put together. The directions were horrible, so horrible to the point where it created the loss of one full star. Unfortunately words have become a rarity when it comes to directions so pictures had to suffice. Once everything was put together, I immediately fell in love with my purchase! It is just as beautiful as I would've imagined for our living room. There are 3 settings options, 1. Solely the electric fire illusion, 2. Low heat, and 3. High heat. My living room is 12 x 18 and it warms it up just fine. All in all, I am VERY satisfied with my purchase!
