BeautifulDelivered early. I read reviews stating you need two people to carry it inside and that I was difficult to assemble. I am a single woman with a broken collarbone and I did perfectly fine! I opened the box outside and there are smaller boxes inside I easily slide them inside. I opened the fireplace first and plugged it in to make sure it worked. The directions were clear and the screws were clearly numbered to match each assembly step. I used an electric screw driver. Every single pre drilled hole was aligned perfectly. It is a beautiful piece. I would absolutely recommend it and will buy additional pieces from them. Also, the fireplace really gives off beautiful heat. You can turn the temp down and set it to automatically shut off. I love everything about it!

Beautiful piece but takes a while to assembleThis arrived a day earlier than scheduled. The Amazon delivery drivers were awesome! The box was not damaged at all (some reviews said their fireplace arrived damaged). My fireplace arrived intact…pristine condition. It is extremely heavy so be prepared if you don’t have any help like me.Hindsight is 20-20 and now I would definitely hired the Amazon handyman to put it together for me.I am an older woman with no a huge amount of skill or experience with tools. I really wished I had an powered drill/screwdriver as I have weak hands to put this together. Some of the pre-drilled holes could have been pre-drilled a bit deeper to make it easier. I also cannot get on the floor to put on the doors or finish putting in the screws on the bottom of the back panels.The space between the cabinet and heater is very small. You need hands the size of a child. A magnetic tipped Philips Head screw driver is very necessary to put this together.The instructions were excellent…very clear and easy to follow. All parts were provided which was great. Nothing was missing.I have not turned it on yet. Hopefully it will work as expected especially after spending an entire day putting it together and acquiring bloody knuckles and sore hands.

Beautiful and great quality!LOVE LOVE LOVE this fireplace console! Assembly looked very intimidating, There was a lot of pieces! But if you organize all of them, it was actually fairly easy to assemble. I put it together mostly on my own, with some help from my husband on the heavy pieces. Took about 2 hours from box to complete. It really wasn’t that bad. It is VERY sturdy. Some of the corner pieces had some chips but nothing to complain about. Black sharpie covered them right up! The heat works really well, keeps my living room toasty on these cold fall mornings! Would definitely recommend!!

So happy with this purchase!The heat output is great and I love how you can adjust the temperature. After reading the reviews, I was worried about assembling it but the directions are really easy to follow! I did purchase a drill to put it together and I’m glad I did… Lots of screws! Would have taken forever by hand. Took me about 3.5 hours to assemble (by myself), with a couple of breaks. It’s very sturdy and the color is really nice! I definitely recommend this fireplace!

Good assembly directionsAlthough it took me a few days to assemble, the directions were clear and easy to follow. Getting the parts out of the box takes two people because they are very heavy but the assembly can be done by one person. The assembly took and few days totaling 3-4 hours, but the process was not bad at all. The only tool needed is a Phillips head screwdriver. I’m happy with my purchase.

Love the finished product! CAUTION: VERY HEAVY BOXBox may be 150 lbs, and I can leg press close to that, but I could not pull it up my porch stairs on a hand cart (the last step being an inch higher than the rest), without hearing my back have a HUGE pop and going to Urgent Care. Please don’t be as foolish as I was – have someone help you get it in the house! Or open the box outside, and bring it in in smaller boxes (3) or open those boxes and bring the pieces in on their own. I will add that I am an older woman, so a larger man could probably pull that up without issue, but just be aware. (btw, after X-rays, It ended up just being a serious muscle strain – though not sure what the pop was.)When I checked the parts, I was missing a bracket. I called the number on the insert flyer and they were prompt to answer and quickly gathered my information. They told me it would take 14 business days, but the part(s) arrived in only 2 business days (Priority Mail). And they sent ALL hardware again rather than just the piece I was missing. That was going above and beyond. Who knows – it may come in handy.I was able to put it together (on pain killers the next day), slowly but surely. Altogether, I would say it took me, by myself, 3 hours, and I was slow. Everything fit perfectly and it feels very well-made. I had none of the issues others have had – no scratches, instructions were clear. Here are the things I like about it: ▪ Very well-packed boxes – everything was packed snugly for minimal movement during shipping ▪ Cutouts in the back cardboard behind the cupboards for cables (can be seen in one or more of my pictures) ▪ An additional slot shaped into the 2nd level for cables (the shelf your media players sit on) VERY handy for hiding any sign of cables! ▪ Lots of space behind the fireplace insert to tuck extra cables (the insert is not very deep at all – thus leaving the space behind it) ▪ Cupboards with doors that hide clutter like batteries, remotes, DVDs, spare cables, etc. ▪ Realistic-looking flames – nice for ambience ▪ Remote control for the fireplace with lots of settings and temperature control – has great fan output ▪ Very well-made construction ▪ Looks very goodThings I don’t like: ▪ Corners are a little scratchy and if wearing something nice, could catch and ruin the clothing ▪ Would have given 4 stars because of quality control not catching the missing part, but added another .5 stars for such prompt delivery of the part, so rounded up to 5Additional helpful dimensions not included in description (see my photos): ▪ Media player shelf: ~15” D x ~5” H (excludes minimal additional height on other side of lip) ▪ Cupboard: ~14” D x 18.5” H x ~13” W (depth goes to inner edge of door for closure; width does not include full inner width – only the width for fitting an object through the opening; Height is total height without shelf) ▪ Cupboard shelf heights: ~8.5”, or ~9.75”, or ~11”I’ve now had it for six months, and the grandkids love turning on the flames (but without heat for the summer!), and I haven’t had any problems and still love how it looks and feels in my home.

If you can’t decide… GET IT!Don’t mind my sleepy baby lol but this thing is amazing! I love the fireplace the most! The material is great and sturdy and it looks AMAZING. Took my hubby and his friend about 2 hours to put together. It’s beautiful and I’m so glad we got it.

Love it!Bought this a few days ago and it was delivered in just 2 days. It took my handyman boyfriend about an hour and a half to put together lol. I love the results! It’s the perfect size for an apartment too! I have a 70” tv hung up on the wall above and it doesn’t look too small. I absolutely can’t wait for Christmas so I can hang the stockings on it and use the heat feature on the fireplace! It definitely ties the whole room together! 🥰

Looks great, warning label ruins it.Looks great, took forever to assemble. I’m most upset about the warning labels that are on it. There are 3 stickers total and they are visible and EXTREMELY hard to remove. afraid to use anything to remove it and take the finish off as I am not placing anything on top of it and it would be super noticeable. Otherwise super pretty for the price.

Impressed!This was sold, fulfilled and delivered by amazon… this is the first piece of DIY assembly furniture that I have bought from any site that arrived with both zero damage and no missing parts. It is practically a miracle. The top box flap was open when it was delivered which had me worried but I was pleasantly surprised. It took me almost 2 hours to get it down to the basement and assembled by myself but the fact that all the pieces were there and nothing was damaged at all was an absolute delight. Nice, easy instructions with step by step photos to the point i didnt even need to read the words. The reviews had me worried talking about loud noises but the heater but my little trial (it’s upper 90s outside so I didn’t leave it on very long) was quiet and the heat was powerful. It did have an odor which I believe is normal when running a heater for the first time. The piece feels feels pretty solid despite it not being real wood. The fireplace insert is easy to remove if it ever breaks or if you want to put it I’m a closet during the warm months and use that space for other things; it is finished in that space so it wouldn’t look bad to have some little baskets of stuff there instead of the fireplace. Very pleased.
