So I really just wanted a stoic electric fireplace that provided some amount of heat...well I go so much more. You can adjust the temp from cool to hot. You can have the fire roaring for ambience with out the fan, it also has a timer, in the event you anticipate taking a nap by the fire....what!!! Like I said what I wanted and so much more. Some facts, I've had it for about a month. I did not assemble, my mechanically challenged friend did, she said it was difficult, however I take that with a grain of salt.

I inherited my mother's house recently and wanted to make it a home for my husband and I while utilizing some of the furniture and memorabilia I had inherited. As most retirees, we are on a fixed income so we needed to watch how much we spent. What a fantastic find this fireplace was! It was relatively easy to put together (which means my husband's swearing was kept to a minimum) and in just about two hours or so. While he was putting it together, he kept commenting on how well constructed the fireplace was. We placed it against one wall and then hung the tv over it. Viola! It is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait for our family and friends to see our new livingroom.

Absolutely love this Fireplace w/bookcases. My adult son assembled it. It took him over 1 hour and he said it was pretty easy (he builds furniture). I asked him to do it because it looked to difficult for me. It is solid, beautiful finish, and great fireplace. Would highly recommend it.

Love it works and looks great

I love this fireplace!!!!! We were worried it wouldn't fit the cable box, dvd player, etc. but it actually fits everything just fine. We haven't put the speaker up there yet, but because you can move the side shelving, I don't think we'll have a problem. I've always had a real fireplace and was so sad when we didn't have one in the new house. The stone edge inside gives it a more "real" feel, and the logs/flames are perfect. (doesn't show that good in my pic, but they really are good) I turn this on almost every night! I don't use the heat much, but it's nice to have if I want it. I searched and searched for the right electric fireplace that actually had a mantle, and am so happy with this one! It goes perfectly with our dark brown couches. My husband did have a bit of trouble putting it together, but even he says it was worth it. I hope this helps you on your search!

Just what I had hoped for. I ordered the Espresso colored fireplace for a rich brown contrast to the light colored walls. I wasn't disappointed and love it. Friends and family who've seen it say it's beautiful as well. ETA for shipping was supposed to be about a week, but it arrived within a few days. I'm sure glad it arrived in perfect condition as I would have hated to pack it back up to send back. Packing was intricate and would have been a pain to put back in the box. I assembled this by myself in about an hour and a half, taking my time. I used a variable speed drill as there is a lot to screw and using a standard screw driver would have taken longer. Use a slow speed as you don't want to run the drill fast and risk stripping anything. You can find an assembly video on YouTube to help you out but it's really not difficult. I had mounted a 60" TV on the wall and wanted a fireplace as a focal point. I bought this particular fireplace as it had the 2 shelves on each side so the size of the TV didn't appear over powering to the size of the fireplace. I know others folks just set their TV on top but my intention wasn't to use this as a TV stand. Nor did I buy it as a heat source to replace my furnace. The heater will take out a chill in the room within close proximity. Don't expect it heat a large room or the whole house. The flames are a nice simulation of real flames and relaxing. There flame intensity is easily adjustable as well as the intensity of the glow of the logs. I didn't expect a light in the fireplace, but there's one there that you can turn on or off that adds dimension to the fireplace. So it's not just an on/off unit. With the adjustable flames, logs and light means you can have variations and set the look to your mood or preference. Would I buy it again? Absolutely! I have friends and family who are going to buy it after seeing mine but I won't get a commission on the sales. Darn! For reviewers who gave this a poor review thank you for your input and I'm sorry for your disappointment. Everyone has different tastes. But when the majority of reviews are well above 4 stars I took the chance on it and I'm extremely pleased.

I first saw this fireplace for $600 at Home Depot and loved it but it was slightly out of my price range. I then found it for $477 on Amazon and bought it. It looks beautiful and is made of better quality material than I was expecting. The actual logs and fireplace look more realistic than any other electric fireplace I have seen. It came packaged very well, not a scratch on anything. Took 2 1/2 hours to put together, but if you had a second person would go much faster. The only two things that I wish were different are that the power cord keeps the unit from sitting flush against the wall, it is only about a quarter of an inch away but I wish the company would have thought about that because its meant to go against a wall. The other thing I dont like is that the shelves dont have any holes to run your cords through if you want to put a cable box or xbox on them. I ended up drilling holes for my cords. Overall I'm giving it 5 stars because it really changed the look of my living room and everyone loves it.

I don't usually leave reviews but I am SO in love with this purchase. The fireplace is absolutely beautiful! The detail is amazing. Excellent buy for the price. Shipping was much faster then expected. Packaging was great! The put together was fairly simple, I will say the directions say use a manual screw driver... we used a drill. We only used a regular screw driver for the hard to reach places as there are no pre drilled holes. The fireplace box itself is beautiful! The flames look lifelike! It produces heat right away but glass stays cool. The remote is super easy to use. Would absolutely recommend this product!

It arrived in excellent condition and I'm actually surprised by the quality for the price. The fireplace looks like real flames and all of the shelving seems very sturdy. Assembling the fireplace shelf was the most difficult part but the instructions were fairly easy to understand. The only issue I had was that it said to use part 12 and yet it really meant part 2. Fortunately, this was near the end and the picture clearly showed they meant part 2 and not 12. The only other issue I had was that near the end the step to put in the square fireplace bracket can be very difficult. This is due to the fact that there is limited space to work with... you need a short screwdriver and even then it can be difficult to get the screws to set properly into the wood due to the limited space. As such, I highly suggest marking the holes on the square piece at the end (you'll know what I mean when you get to this step). You can then pre-tap the holes using a automatic screwdriver so that when you go to do this step it'll be MUCH easier to get the screws tightened. Overall, it took me about ~3 hours to complete the fireplace shelf. It would have been less if I hadn't thought I did something wrong, undo what I did, and then discover I was actually right in the first place! The two side shelves were incredibly easy to assemble. The most difficult part is putting the top piece on because it uses screws but even then there's plenty of space and you can use a automatic screwdriver to get the screws started. Just make sure not to overtight it... I usually use an automatic screwdriver to start it and then manually screw it in the rest of the way. The only negative about this shelf is they could have pre-tapped the spots for the screws. It can be very difficult to get the screws to set properly, especially in the times in which space is limited. One thing worth mentioning is the 'espresso' color is darker than we originally thought it would be. It's basically about as dark of a brown as you can get before it just turns straight black. I even mistook it for being black when I originally opened the packaged until I put some light on it. With that said, the end result actually looks very classy and we're pleased with how the color turned out!

Exactly what I was looking for. Not a fan of the line breaks on the top front of the mantle. Besides that, great price, easy to put together (1 hour).
