First, if you don't like assembling things, this is not for you.Yes, there are a ton of pieces and the instructions could have been a bit more detailed, but it was all extremely well packed and I followed it just fine.I was seriously concerned after seeing the huge, heavy boxes they came in, but I think half the weight was the packing materials.Now, there are a couple of points during assembly when having a second pair of hands is beneficial, like turning it right side up, otherwise one person could definitely assemble it.Make sure you have plenty of room.If fact, it's probably best to assemble it in the room you plan to put it in.As well, while it's still upside down, if you have any of those little adhesive felt floor slider/protector things, that's the time to put them.One last thing, you have to unscrew the glass from the fireplace to manually place the acrylic crystals, which must be done before you insert it into the console.All in all, I'm very pleased with the look, quality and sturdiness.As an added note, our soundbar fit well in the space above the fireplace, so if you have one, that may be of interest to you.Another thing, the instructions for the fireplace say not to use an extension cord, to use a dedicated outlet and not to plug anything else into that outlet.This could be an issue if you don't have many outlets.
I have been looking for an electric fireplace for awhile. This one got good reviews and was a great price. It comes in two boxes. Wait to put it together until you have both boxes. The drawer slides were in the second box. The packaging was perfect, it fit like a puzzle. The directions were perfect. Make sure you look at the picture and match your pieces to look the same. They even put in a little spare bag with extra hardware! Took me about three hours to complete but just because I was careful to make sure I was doing it correctly. Very sturdy and nice.
