If you are looking for an industrial look, this is it. I covered the wood surfaces with contact paper of a more solid gray wood look. The fireplace works great, looks realistic enough for me. Was easy to assemble.Very nice and sturdy piece. Easy to put together. Nothing came damaged. One drawback - too short to use as a TV stand.The description states that the fireplace is custom with changing the flames, a timer, etc. The remote that came with the fireplace has an off/on and nothing else. The front controls on the fireplace also have an On/Off for the flame and the heat.There is no mention of custom settings within the instructions nor any way to control those "custom" options it claims to have.The look of the tv stand with the fireplace is nice, however, I expected the ability to put a timer on and change the flames.This was easy to put together! I love the look of the wood and its nice and sturdy. Overall, very happy!It looks great and is sturdy. We like that it is not very tall, so that the new tv sits at the right height for its place in our den. We wanted something minimal looking without a bunch of shelves.It is exactly what I need,the right size,the color is also good,the price is in the acceptable range,and I am satisfied with my purchase!It is easy to assemble the TV stand. It is a sturdy piece of furniture comparing to its price. It fits very well with my 65" Samsung TV. The shelve below holds my two storages which carries my DVDs and books.I have a small living room and it’s the perfect size
