I like this fireplace, it's perfect for my needs and fits perfectly in my small space. Be sure you know your exact dimensions for your space, because this fireplace is definitely smaller than it appears to be in the picture. My only complaint (and the reason for the 3-star "appearance" rating) is that the "antique white" doesn't really reflect the actual color. It is actually more of a darker, eggnog-cream color than an antique off-white. I guess the blue wall behind it in the picture makes it look like a whiter white than it actually is. It was easy to put together, except there is some confusion on the final step of attaching the mantelpiece (hence, the 3-star "ease of assembly" rating). All the other screw holes are pre-started so you know exactly where and how to line the boards up to each other before attaching the screws, but the inside mantel doesn't have any screw hole guides to let you know you're attaching it in the right place. I called the manufacturer and they told me that they don't put screw hole guides on the mantel so the customer can line it up flush on their own to get it exactly how they want it. That was confusing to me since every other screw hole in the set is pre-started, but other than that the assembly was a breeze.
