Laurielv: We wanted this for our cabin. We have a wood-burning fireplace on the main floor, but wanted something for the basement. We didn’t want the mess of the wood, but wanted some heat and ambience while playing pool, darts, etc. This completely fills the need. Very pleased!

Joanne H.: Very quick delivery! Love the wide clean look of this fireplace insert. Bought to replace a propane fireplace which was hardly used. The crackling log sound is nice on lower setting or doesn’t need on at all.

Kindle CustomerKindle Customer: Before ordering this, I very carefully measured our fireplace opening. The opening size was 34 1/4" wide by 21 1/8" tall at the closest points. This insert is supposed to fit into a 21" tall opening. When I installed it, it got wedged in and I couldn't quite get the bottom flush with the opening. The closest I could get it left about a 1/4" gap at the bottom edges. I should note that there is a mortar line in our fireplace at the exact location that the bottom of the insert is resting. So, I think the fireplace opening should be at least 21 1/4" tall or maybe a little better for a perfect fit. I am afraid to try to remove the insert, so I cannot provide the actual insert height dimension. I should note that the small gap at the bottom of both sides is barely noticeable, so I'm still happy.
On the plus side, the insert looks great and has one of the best displays I've ever seen in an electric fireplace! We love it! It also arrived earlier than the estimated arrival date, by almost a week.
I am an experienced electrician, so I installed a GFCI protected outlet into the back of our fireplace to plug it into.

Robert: It was a great solution to an older fireplace that could be used for real wood anymore and much simpler and less expensive than a gas fireplace. There is sufficient heat for our needs on the low setting

kryptonian007: The TOP to BOTTOM measurement of the fireplace opening is the most important. I have the Western 30" and the top to bottom fits perfectly with a 2" space on the left and right side. Remove the metal/glass cover on the fireplace by loosening the bolts located on the inside of the fireplace. Measure from the TOP of the opening to the 'seat' or slab that borders the front of the opening. DO NOT measure to the inside bottom because that will add about 2" inches and you will be wrong. I used 2x4's to frame the sides first and then the inside bottom of the opening. NO NEED TO FRAME THE TOP. I used 'window/door' caulking to caulk all seems inside and out and let it dry. I used cement bolts and a hammer drill to fasten the 2x4's and what I call the 'butterfly' drill bits to recess a hole for the bolt to sit below the wood surface. This permits the insert to slide in/out without hitting the bolts. It takes between 4 and 5 days to convert your fireplace and if you have to hire someone to do it, it will cost some money. I was lucky to have an outlet near my fireplace so wiring it was easy. CONSIDER THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BEFORE BUYING THE INSERT. An outlet too far or too much brick to cut...
