Fairly easy to assemble if you follow provided instructions (I would say assembly time varies per each individual). Came in two shipments: fireplace first, the next day the unit itself arrived. I got very blessed and had no issues with product damage upon arrival;like others seem tove had.
I love the color which is the light gray, and it is very sound and sturdy. I would not recommend putting anything like plants on it unless you put some sort of dip tray or coaster underneath. This unit will definitely warp if wet, and to play it safe, if youre going to place and burn glass candles on top, I would still place something thick underneath your candle because the potential of a heat ring is there. In fact, I actually placed semi thick, woven dinner mats on top of mine, then placed dip trays on top of that; under my plants.
The fireplace is surprisingly realistic and soothing, and blows my mind how well it actually heats up my apartment. I did not think for one moment that the heater would work as well as it does, so kudos to the manufacturer. I might add, however, that the humming sound (although very slight, almost unnoticeable for most) the fireplace makes is annoying if you do not have your television on. I wish there was a way they could fix the humming sound, and replace it with a realistic crackling sound. I also wish that the heat setting on the remote when lowering the temperature, did not affect the volume down on my television. Every time I turn down the heat, it turns down the volume on my television WTH.
Also, the grate bar used for realism, doesnt do much for me. In fact, it hinders the experience. It would be nice if they replaced the superficial grate bar, and replaced it with fading/flickering coals (if that makes sense).
Another suggestion would be to place a plastic peel stick film over the glass doors when shipping. The glass on my unit arrived semi/scratched because there was nothing protecting the glass.
In closing, it really is a beautiful unit at a very reasonable price. And the fireplace absolutely blows my mind even if there is a few suggestions I would prefer, its still definitely worth the money.
Very Nice
