For some time I had been looking for an electric fireplace that I could use as a stand for my TV and also provide additional heat in my living room. The size is perfect for the room and there is more than ample space for the TV. I was also able to put my cable box on one side of TV and the DVD player on the other side. Putting the fireplace together presented a few minor challenges to me, since I am a 72 year old, female and left handed! When the directions were not clear to me, I just Googled for a video to help me figure it out . I did bevel out a few of the holes for the doles, Did not have anyone to help me, so I took my time and assembled it all by myself. The finished product far exceeded my expectations in the style, appearance and the heat produced. I love the remote which my fireplace in my bedroom does not have. I would highly recommend this fireplace. The delivery was several days earlier than expected and arrived in great condition with all parts plus a few extras!!!
