257-80-81 Briar 38" Infrared Media Mantel-Aged White Electric Fireplace

I am really enjoying this fireplace! The color is as seen, ivory-distressed. It puts out a good amount of heat. Fire flames are adjustable, as is temperature. Took my husband about 1 hour to assemble. Doors were a little tricky to get square. But otherwise super fast shipping and I’m pleased. So is my dog! Only 1 tiny drawback... the fan is a tad loud.

I was able to assemble the entire piece by myself in less than 2 hours (two people are recommended for assembly). Love the overall size and functionality. I have my TV on it in my bedroom. Other people who have seen it, love it. Highly recommended.

First, the cabinet took about two hours to put together , and that was done by my brother who is good at furniture assembly. Next, one corner of the mantle was banged up, even though it was well wrapped. But I used a furniture pen to make the gouge less noticeable. Finally, I have a 10x12 room and had to close the doors to make the room warm up with this fireplace, so I don’t think it would work well in a large room. The fan is on the noisy side and can feel like it’s blowing cool air if you are directly in front of it. All said, I’m happy with its appearance and the way it takes the cold edge off my north facing room.

The cabinet looks very nice and isn't hard to put together. Love the size as it fits perfectly and hold all my components. What i don't like is the fireplace. It's supposed to heat1000 square feet but i have it on a closed 100 square foot back room and it doesn't even come close to keeping up. I turned the fireplace off and put a small space heater in the room and it keeps the room much warmer than the fireplace.

Love this fireplace! Fit perfect in my room and was easy to put together.

Customer support is shipping me another one now, after the attempts to get a part that failed.

Assembly is not easy, you pretty much start from the beginning as far as the cabinet. The fireplace insert just sits in once the cabinet is assembled. That being said, I love this fireplace. The color is perfect, matches my furniture, etc. It is also very cozy and relaxing! I gave it 4 stars because of assembly.
