Ameriwood Home Lamont 69 Inch Electric Fireplace with Mantel, Shelves, Replaceable Fireplace Insert Heater, Remote Control, Timer, Realistic Log and Flame Effect, For Living Room or Bedroom, White

PROS:- built in heater and fan-comes with mantel and the fire screen/heater-280$ total??? Cheapest one available-it’s tall it’s about 58 inches at tallest part- it is also wide about 65 inches. If you have a blank wall that needs decor this will take up a lot of space I feel like it was honestly cheaper to buy this then trying fill in the wall with decor.-storage. We just finished building, so my items are not put on the shelves yet however it has good storage for books, crystals, collectibles, even a small basket of toys for my dog. The shelves are SUCH a bonus for me. I’m always buying shelves because they make a great display. So if you’re a collector/ decor enthusiast, just get it.- very thorough instructions- realistic looking fire/wood it almost looks 3D in person, super cool feature- dimmable light- you can have the heater OFF while enjoying the view. I’ve always loved the view of a fire but where I’m from the weather is warm so we don’t get to utilize our actual fire place enough because it gets too hot.- 4 light adjusting features- remote control operated- free shipping, quick delivery-it’s seemingly great quality so far especially for the price-the black wood is beautiful and around the fire it almost has a grey stone maybe faux granite(?) sort of appearance. It’s super pretty and elegant and matches our room beautifullyCONS:- I’m recovering from surgery so my fiancé built this by himself. It took 10 hours total (2 separate days). He isn’t a carpenter or anything at all but he knows the basics, he is also not a person who heavy lifts anything and was able to put it together perfectly. That being said it’s NOT hard to put together nor super heavy, but TIME CONSUMING AF. It is meant to be a 2 person job but he was able to find his way around that but it did take a bit more time because a screw broke which brings me to my second point- a screw broke, we were able to fix it so we don’t need to contact customer service quite yet but it was a bad screw. We hadn’t even screwed it in, it just broke in my fiancés hand when he took it out of the bag- there are small flaws like gaps in between shelves, fire pit and mantel etc, however if you have putty and paint that isn’t really a problem- remote can be finicky. It has to be directed exactly at the screen. Not a big deal either.- some sizing issues. Things don’t fit together perfectly but you’re able to work with itOverall for 280$ free, fast shipping, for a very large expensive looking mantel and fire place? It’s a steal. Yes it takes effort and focus to put together. But for the results it’s worth it. Even my fiancé said it is worth putting together he says it’s “luxurious” haha. Worth the money from me (and the time from him). Just have patience with it, and take it step by step. Do every single instruction this isn’t something you can glance over. By far one of my favorite Amazon finds and I’d recommend to anyone looking for a fire place. I am using this piece in our master bed but If the living room didn’t have a fire place I’d definitely buy one out there. It looks real and expensive. The little quirks here and there are honestly no big deal due to the price. If this was any more expensive I’d knock a star off but how can I not give it 5 stars?! I’ll be adding pics later.

After reading a lot of the reviews for this fireplace unit I decided to give it a go. So here is my take, delivery was quick so no problems there though the box was a little on the heavy side and they left it outside the front door. I was very impressed with the packing of the unit inside the box. I took extreme care unloading each piece after reading about others having some damaged parts, I separated everything carefully and laid them flat on the carpet. Success since I had zero damage. I recommend reading the directions completely before beginning the process of assembling the fireplace, there are A LOT of parts and as for the hardware handle carefully as there are no extra parts, everything will be used. Note to the supplier, you should probably include a few extra parts! The directions are very good if you follow them thoroughly and don't try to get ahead of yourself. It will take some time to complete the assembly so go slowly and enjoy the process. It took me 3 hours to complete with some help from my wife flipping it over when it got heavy. Otherwise one person could have assembled it if experienced with this kind of thing. Once completed it is a very nice looking fireplace. There are some pieces that didn't quite fit together perfectly so I bought a small tube of white caulk to fill in the gaps and that worked well. Also make sure you have a tube of wood glue because the supplied glue is definitely not enough. The fireplace unit itself is nice looking and gives a pleasant glow with 4 different settings, I turned the heat on and it did seem to put out good heat with decent air flow. It's summer here so that's the best I could attest too. In conclusion I really like the look of the fireplace, it's a nice size and not too large to overtake the wall it's against. I give this fireplace 5 stars and hope to enjoy it for years to come.

I bought this piece for our living room and it fit really nice. The color was great and the height was just what we were looking for. It definitely takes two people to put it together though; it is much quicker and the piece has some decent weight to it, so two makes it easier to move. The instructions were decent, we did have a few hiccups, but overall they were easy to follow. We did have to buy more glue; the glue that was provided was not enough. Also, there was a small chip in the front, but a black marker covered it up. Make sure you have plenty of space when putting it together; you basically put all the hardware in first and then attach all the pieces. I would highly recommend this product in the black if you are questioning it.P.s. I like that there is no space at the bottom, so you don't have to worry about toys getting underneath it. (Our cats loved to play soccer with our old one.)
