I purchased this product at Christmas and my husband and I have enjoyed it very much so far. It throws off just enough extra heat to keep our living room warm so that we don't have to turn up our electric heat during these cold nights. I also love the ambiance it creates. I am very happy with the product so far.Best Deals for World Marketing Winchester II Factory Direct
Great Little Fireplace. We love the look of the warm fire through the glass. It can be used just to look at the fire light or with the heater feature on. We use ours year round-even in the summer evenings with the heat feature off.Honest reviews on World Marketing Winchester II Factory Direct
I ordered this faux fireplace heater for my son's room. The reviews were solid, and the heating system was fire safe.However, they fail to mention that the "oak finish" is cheap veneer, not oak.
And NO ONE mentioned anywhere in the advertisement here that the unit arrives UNASSEMBLED!!!!
I am concerned because the unit I bought two years ago from AMAZON was solid oak (not a cheap finish), and it came fully assembled.
I cannot yet comment on the heater itself, but I did want to warn prospective buyers that the quality of "oak finish" has been downgraded without clarification or any change in the language.
I will add an update in a few days after we have had a chance to use it.

I have now had a chance to assemble the device, and to use it in my son's room for more than a week of cool weather.
First, the assembly is not easy. There are 80 pieces in the box, mainly screws (55 main screws, + 3 smaller ones), so be prepared to dedicate at least an hour to the work.
I was not impressed with the durability of the heater once constructed. It is heavy, and it is not designed for major relocations once it is constructed.
On the other hand, and despite the faux oak finish, it really is a beautiful addition to my son's room. He LOVES it--and uses the false flame as a night light to hypnotize him to sleep. It is quite nice to sit in a darkened room and stair at the "fire." The heater and thermostat also work well. My ten-year-old was able to operate the controls out of the box. Another plus.
As a result, I have raised the review from 2 stars to 4 stars. I still take off some credit for the faux finish, the lack of warning about assembly required. But the product does overall deliver the quality you hope and expect.
