I would recommend this product to a friend as a matter of fact I am purchasing another one for a housewarming present for a very close friend. It is very attractive looking and easly installed. Their is an additional tray to hold candles if you choose not to always use the gel fuel, which was a surprise becuase its not mention in the description of the product. That 's the only reasopn I gave ease of assembly a four star. Its really a beautiful fireplace. Get
