Flames are realistic, wood is quality. Holds my 65 inch effortlessly, set up about 2 hours considering it was myself & daughter putting it together.

I'm a 40 year old woman and I was able to put this together by myself. It was really easy the wood is very heavy. I love nice things and this is really nice. It took me about 2 hours to put it together. My TV is a 55' and it fits fine.

ABOUT MY SITUATION: I live in a small 2 bedroom farm house that has ZERO insulation and was built, probably in the 30's. Maybe. Though it has been renovated, there still is no insulation so, I'm looking for a way to heat my little old abode on a budget. I'm oping to mainly use this and I do have other methods but my goal is to use mostly just this.
ABOUT DELIVERY: if you have it delivered and you have stairs make sure you are looking out your window frequently so you can catch the delivery people before they drop it off and leave you to carry it up the steps. That thing is heavy and I do mean heavy!
PUTTING THE MEDIA STAND TOGETHER: I decided to try putting this together by myself, be advised, put your pets in another room. I did not use the instruction manual, instead I opted for using the video with the two guys putting it together. I think I must of run through and partially ran through that video 50 or so times because I was putting it together from back to front and they are putting it together from front to back and the video only shows one piece of two identical pieces being put in place with a complete view of the two pieces after they show you the guys inserting one. Confusing. First of all I did not have enough room to lay out all the pieces like they are at the beginning of the video so I went by the video and by eyeing various pieces, some of which were laid out on the deck of my inclosed porch and some of which were still in the box. Well I had to restart the process of putting the stand together 3 different times because I kept starting off with the wrong large base piece. To make matters worse I read a review on here that the stand is flimsy when put together (sooo not true at all) so I decided to put some wood glue in all the holes that have those little wooden pegs inserted into them when putting it together (sooo not necessary). All I have to say is thank goodness Gorilla wood glue does not set as fast as super glue or I would of been in trouble lol!
The key to putting it together is to make sure ALL of the wooden and metal pegs line up with their respective holes and make sure all the metal pegs are locked completely into place. It should not be too difficult to flip those metal switches to turn the T shaped peg. If you are sure the T is fit in the hole you may have to lift the wood a bit to be able to flip the switch but everything should go in place fairly easily. If you've secured everything correctly the stand is a brick that has zero wobble or give. It did take me roughly 2 hours maybe a little more because I didn't pay as much attention to the pieces as I should of been. In other words Lady Karma smacked me upside the head for scoffing at some of the reviews in which people said it took them 2 hours to assemble the media stand.
INSTALLING THE HEATER: Once the media stand is together it's a simple matter of taking the fireplace out of the box and sliding it into place on the media stand. There is a block of wood with a wooden peg and two T shaped metal pieces that lock into place. It's that simple and what's nice is as another reviewer said, there is extra space back there. I have my surge protector and power block for my xbox resting neatly in that space.
ABOUT THE ELECTRIC FIREPLACE:
For those interested about the fireplace itself, the fireplace is the "Classic Flame 26 inch SpectraFire Infrared Electric Fireplace Insert" with quartz tubes. The model number for this heater is 2611033FGL.
Specifications:
Volts: 12
Amps: 12.5
Watts: 1500
Wiring: Plug in (features a safety plug that can gauge if the plug it is
getting too hot and will automatically turn the heater off.)
Bulb Type: LED
Approvals: Designed and Certified to meet CSA standards
BTUs: 5200
Heating Area: 1000 sq. feet.
Remote Control: Yes (Multifunction)
This heater has 2 flame colors (one color is orange and the other color is a combo of orange with blue in the middle) and each color has three brightness level settings. This heater also has a digital thermostat ranging from 62 to I believe the highest setting is 86 and you can change the temperature in increments of 2. This heater also include a timer so you can set it for how long you want it to run before it shuts off completely. 2,4,6,8, and I do believe 12 hours is the highest it goes. You can use either the buttons on the front of the fireplace or the included remote control to change all the available settings.
FINAL THOUGHTS: I LOVE my purchase, the stand is beautiful and solid as a rock (as the song goes) and is PLENTY big enough for my 60 inch black friday deal tv I bought for $300 a few years ago and big enough for my Dish receiver and Xbox console with room to spare. The fireplace is beautiful and provides comfortable heat through 85% of my small, old, non insulated humble abode. The flames are incredibly realistic and the heat and light settings are adequate for my needs and can be controlled with or without the remote. I would absolutely buy this thing again!

Beautiful piece of furniture! Very easy to assemble, but it would have been easier with two people. Also need a little muscle. It is very solid, nicer quality than all assembled furniture we have previously bought. Love the fireplace and all the settings for it.

We bought this for the living room. We wanted a traditional sitting/gathering area with the sound system as the focal point. We thought that the fake fireplace would be cheesy, but it is actually attractive and adds some ambience for gatherings. The wood on the cabinet is veneer but does not appear cheap. The cabinet requires assembly but it is well package and goes together easily and once the back panel is installed, the cabinet is very stable. This was important for us because we use the top to support just an amplifier, CD player and turntable. The bottom portions of the cabinet are perfect for storing vinyl and the shelf for CDs. For the money, it can’t be beat.

The unit was easy to put together. The instructions were clear and all the parts were in the box. The unit is a very solid nice looking piece of furniture...and the electric fireplace is a welcome addition to the piece. It functions well. The flames are bright and it puts out a fair amount of heat. Looking forward to winter to try it out for real.

Everyone who comes into my home comments on my media cabinet with fireplace. Wow! That's great, is what I most often hear from my guests. When I sit down at night to watch TV, I find myself watching the fireplace instead. I had no idea that I would enjoy it as much as I do.

We spent a little bit more than we wanted to on this product but it has been well worth the money. It was easy to assemble and has worked great for us. It definitely heats our living room and has room for our Xbox and WiFi/Router plus more that we are not currently using. Lots of space for pictures or decor on top of the stand if you are not using it for your TV.

The fireplace was amazing. It arrived in a timely fashion, earlier than expected. It has been working wonderfully and the heat it gives off is just right. I did have to order it twice because the first time I received it, the top portion broke during shipping. The process to get a new one took just 1 phone call but the return label wasn't emailed to me for about 2 weeks, which was a little frustrating. But overall, the fireplace is of great quality, especially for the price. I would recomment this.

This is such a beautiful tv stand! It is sturdy, and fits so well into the corner I needed too. The fireplace is warm and heats up a good portion of my house (I have a very open floor plan) would highly recommend! Very easy to put together, however, me and my husband put it together.

When I was looking for an entertainment center I wanted one with a fire place. This thing heats my basement quite well. Has a built in timer you can set to have it turn off automatically. It says assembles minutes... They don't tell you how many minutes though. It took me a little over an hour to assemble by myself. Probably would have went faster if I had help like they recommend.

I had been researching electric fireplaces for awhile, so I know what is out there. This purchase was made on a whim, but I am happy with it. The salesperson misinformed us, and said that a little assembly was required. Upon delivery, there was a box full of pieces needing assembly, very disappointed that we had a couple hours of assembly.
