We love the fireplace. It will serve as an emergency heat source as well as a beautiful addition to special occasions. It does get hot, however, and we are thinking about whether we should put something behind it. We did get a little soot, but we are also using an alternate fuel for cost efficiency.
The fireplace arrived in good shape. It was fairly easy to mount on the wall with the exception that my husband and I felt that it was grossly ineffective to hold the weight safely therefore we made a trip to the hardware store to upgrade it. Pros--it was very pretty and gave off some heat enough to take the chilll off of the room. Ambivalent- The brochure says five hours for a full-fill but to fill the basin full it took a liter of fuel and on high lasted MAX of 2 hours. Cons-It mounted correctly more heat goes up than out or down...therefore the heat is merely supplementary should not be used by any means as a replacement of a heater. Also---the flame DOES NOT look like the picture does not get that broad. It may get that high but ONLY have the fuel warms up (at least 30 minutes) the warmer the fuel the high the flames...but never that broad. After a few uses the device to slide over the burner to squelch the fire did not fit so snug and therefore did not extinguish the flames.
This is an average piece of furniture that could actuall be quite a classy piece with a few easy cost effective upgrades. I really don't think it is worth the price and could be bought cheaper at a local fireplace store or a store that sells them. This is a pretty heavy piece and I'm not going to attempt to hang it on my wall. If I had an exposed brick wall, it would be perfect and enhance the features of the fireplace as well. Unless there is a sturdy wall, I would find an alternative method to hang this piece.
This piece is very interesting, eye catching and easy to mount. My only complaint about the product is the fuel does not last very long at all. I had read the previous reviews that discussed this shortcoming and chose to order anyway. I'm keeping it however, it's already paid for and hung on the wall. The fire doesn't even last an hour. We were entertaining a couple weeks ago and everyone came in and admired the fireplace. We lit it just before the first guest and it was completely out within the hour, that makes those bottles of fuel about $55 an hour, that is outlandish. This will be a very expensive candle holder.
