I've had these several pieces of furniture over the years made from MDF. The quality in this unit is outstanding. The Sargent Oak finish is beautiful and putting it together was pretty routine (just don't rush it and follow it step by step). The fake fireplace looks really good and sets a glowing ambiance. The remote is very functional, as it can adjust what temperature you want and set a timer as well. I love it .... by and large. The only thing that keeps it from getting a 5th STAR is this: 1) it sits about 5-6 inches too low. My big screen does not sit up high on a stand. That's mostly my fault for not paying real close attention to the height (I was mostly into the width of the unit) and, 2) unless this is going into a bedroom, don't expect too much from the electric heater. I have it in my living room, which the dining room and kitchen all open fully to it. Way too big of a space (413 sq ft) for it to cycle on and off.
Beautiful Piece, But Sits Lower than I Expected
