It's a beautiful piece for a great price. It took my father a little over an hour to put together for me. There was a rip in the design on the back side that I had to glue down and the fire place was bent on top. Luckily, you can't see the bent part from the front. The hooks on the front are actually black, not the silver color shown in the picture. On a more positive note, the fire looks more realistic than I expected and it puts out an impressive amount of heat. I'm glad I read the reviews on this thing before I bought it. Most people said there was something minor wrong with theirs, as was mine. Overall, it's a really pretty TV stand and adds a nice ambiance to my living room.
