For those whose homes are not architecturally blessed with a woodburning fireplace, this is a fantastic alternative especially for apartment dwellers it has a small footprint, but creates just the right focal point for a livingroom grouping; the design is classic (neither too contemporary nor too fusty-traditional). Since getting it, I have rushed home and looked forward each night to using it. It was the perfect holiday gift to myself a great backdrop for my holiday decorations and now a perfect spot for my new television (although I felt the need to reinforce it with a simple wood bracing structure first before setting the television atop it).
In case it is not clear, the structure consists mainly of the front mantle and surround facade there are no sides. It is made of particle board mostly, and the construction is not the sturdiest held together with screws and some L-brackets but perfectly adequate for its intended use. The superficial construction did not surprise me. It looks great, though and since I bought it mainly for aesthetic reasons, I am quite satisfied. The top is made of 3 sections it would be more attractive if it were one triangular top without seams, but I understand why for packing reasons it needed to be separated into the different pieces.
I have not used this yet with the gel cannisters, and may not only with candles and votives in separate holders that I put into the firebox. But I still feel like it creates a nice fireplace-like ambience with the flickering flames of the candles. In truth, without a chimney structure and in a NYC apartment, there isn't anyone (intelligent) who would be fooled into thinking this is a real fireplace, but I think it creates just the right focal point and effect a definite enhancement to my livingroom and apartment. Love it!
