First off, BRAVO on quality packaging for shipping. As soon as I realize that they had light wood as the side paneling to protect the item inside, I knew I was going to be pleased. This was protected so well that if it was chucked outside of a FedEx truck, going 95 miles an hour, nothing would’ve broke. Not a single dent, scratch or ding on the actual product itself.
This is heavy duty, higher quality particle board. If you’re familiar with particleboard, you know that there’s the cheap kind that flakes easily then there is the higher quality one, and this is that product. Once I had this thing assembled, which took my daughter and I in 30 minutes, I knew I made the right choice. This is so well-made that a tornado could come through the house, and this would still remain standing. Directions were easy to understand and all parts were accounted for and even extras included. Illustrations were idiot proof as well.
Fireplace is a 24” insert which works for me. Throws off the right amount of heat.
I like that I can have the fireplace on with or without the heat which can be turned on separately with the switch. I wish this came with a remote control but for $213,
I am not going to think twice about it. If for some reason you do not like the fireplace that came with this unit, you can swap it out easily for any 24 inch insert that you can find anywhere online including Amazon.
Overall, I think this is going to go down as one of the best purchases I’ve ever made here on this app. I am extremely happy with this unit and the fireplace itself. If you were debating whether or not to get this and it is still $213, I am telling you to throw it in your shopping cart and buy it right now. You will not be disappointed!
