The heater cannot heat 50 square feet. Replacement fireplace wad shipped and damaged. Plugged in the new fireplace and it still did not heat up a the room. Waiting for a 3rd fireplace and hope this one works but I doubt it. I also think that the veneer will peel but time will tell. I had to use a cherry marker to touch up a area.

This is an absolute nuisance. The cabinet is beautiful but the heater will not stay on for more than 7 minutes straight. It's too bulky and heavy to have to return so save yourself the trouble and don't even buy it. Instructions are written in broken English and they are not helpful. Total disappointment.

I read all the reviews and decided to purchase this for my new house. I didn't realize how well constructed this thing and initially very satisfied However, after a week now it won't even heat. The internal thermostat on the fireplace is reading 88 and I keep my main thermostat on 68. When it did work, it could only keep the living room barely heated which caused my main thermostat to read higher. That's a good and bad problem to have. Now, I'm stuck with a 250+lb fireplace that doesn't heat and it's just too hard to move. At least it's solid and a very attractive piece of furniture

I just got it delivered yesterday. Very heavy piece. Tons of packaging. But I guess that's good because when I opened it, it was in perfect condition. You might want to look around for extra material in the drawers where extra packaging material can hide. And you'll spend plenty of time removing stickers, they are all over this thing. Almost missed the small "tempered glass" one on the glass of the doors. The quality and attention to detail is really great. The gaps between the drawers/side doors and there openings is outstanding. The fire place is nice. The drop down display is really cool. This is darker then the pictures. It's more of a dark red cherry. I like it because it makes it look even more high end. I got this for $499 plus free shipping. This can't be beat for that price. They could probably charge more then the non sale price and you would still get your moneys worth. But shhhhhhhh. Just a really nice piece. Above and beyond what you would expect. To the workers who manufactured this piece, well done.

I just bought the Member's Mark Anderson Console yesterday! I've wanted this particular item for awhile and was thrilled to purchase it! We brought it home and were amazed at how well it was packaged...my grand daughter salvaged some of the packaging for an art project! Once we set it up reality set in at just how stunning it is! It's going to look great for the holidays!

We were skeptical and had looked at electric fireplaces and just didn't like any of them because they looked fake and cheap. We found this one at Sams and read the reviews and were still skeptical but bought it anyway. I am sooooo glad we did!!! We get more compliments for the piece of furniture and it is solid and matches our other living room furniture perfectly. It is not a flimsy piece at all. And we love that you can adjust the flame height and the temperature of the flame from across the room. I would not look any further for an electric fireplace. No criticisms here. We love it and are ready for winter #2 using it!

After a little over a year the motor that drives the flame quit, called customer service if you want to call it that, motor not in stock, they said maybe call a fireplace shop to see if I can find one somewhere. Piece of junk, just gonna garage sale it

The actual TV console part is beautiful and very well built. My only complaint is everytime I turn the heater on, the blower is very loud and shakes and rattles inside the housing for about 30 seconds before quieting down.

I bought this about a week ago I absolutely love it,It's beautiful and heats very well best part it was already assembled put the fireplace insert in and your ready to go

We purchased this fireplace two years ago for our "family" Christmas present. We shopped around for weeks looking for something that was a larger fireplace, great deal, and that also was useful as storage (so many of them have fake drawers!). We settled on this one at Sam's Club and purchased it while it was on sale. It has been a wonderful fixture in our living room. The temperature controls are spot on and it heats up our large living room quickly. Even though the flames are fake, they have a long enough repeating pattern that you don't get caught up watching the pattern repeat and bothered by it. The wood and veneer is higher quality than most of the pricier ones you find. My only beef with the actual fireplace is that I wish there was an easy way to remove the screen for cleaning. Make sure you check the boxes at the store before they load it up for you. The first box they got down for us had a crushed corner and was scratched, but the next box behind it was perfect. Also, this thing is HEAVY (think moving a piano!). You will need a couple of strong people to move it into place.
