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, Black

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.

This made my living room look so much better. Love it. Took about 2 hours to assemble. Cant wait to buy more decor and have it fully decorated. Was hesitant due to some of the reviews i saw but i had no issues.

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.)

So many broken, chipped and chipped pieces. The box is damaged and not packed well. It looked beaten up or used. One of the parts has a dried black dirt or mud. I had to scrape it off. The box came with packaging tapes on two sides broken and the side flap covers popped open already. The protective foams inside have broke into pieces. It was delivered and left on the porch leaning on the wall as it does not stand on its own anymore. As I started the process of assembling, I found some parts are chipped. Some pieces are glossy and most are not. When screws are put in, the wood easily breaks. No power tools are even used. I did it all manually. I have assembled several furnitures recently in the new house we moved in, this is the only one I had issues, lots of issues. The materials used are cheap that they break easily even during transit. Very disappointing. I was excited and looking forward to see and put this product together, only to find out some of the pieces are either chipped, cracked or broken. I did a lot of work already on most parts and have ignored the chipping or cracks on some parts but when I saw a vital piece of the item in the box broken, my heart just sank. Now I do not know anymore how to put most of the pieces and fit them together in the box for return. I spent 3 hours putting the screws and stuff on most of the parts already they dont fit in the box anymore. I don't want to spend another 2-3 hours again taking the screws and stuff off just to make the parts fit in the box again for return. Very disappointing!

Great and not too hard to assemble for 2 people. Having a drill is very helpful for assembly. Looks very nice for the price point.
