I purchased this stand because we got a new TV and I liked the idea of having a decorative fireplace.
Product was packaged well, although the styrofoam gets everywhere. All the pieces were there. Only tool needed not included was a standard Philips head screw driver.
The instructions arent very clear on a few details, so you have to make extra sure that you are putting everything together the right way. We had to reverse and try things over a few times (this is not our first time putting this kind of furniture together). It was exceptionally frustrating. If youre putting it together with your SO, youre relationship may not survive this if youre on shaky ground (that was a joke).
The fireplace and stand have separate manuals. You have to remove the glass face to put in the acrylic crystals BEFORE you install it in the stand (another frustrating thing). Be careful with the acrylic crystals. Theyre sharp as glass and could easily cut you.
The stand seemed very unstable at first (probably because of all the re/dos) at first. Once the back panels were put on, it was fine, but that makes me a little nervous. Its been able to accommodate my 65 tv no problem though.
As far as looks go, I like the finished product. The fire display looks pretty fake though, especially when youre up close. I recommend putting it on L2 (lowest brightness) and enjoying from a distance.
Theres really nothing else like it and overall Im happy with it. If I had to do it over again, Id probably go with something else though.
Love the way it looks, Difficult assembly
