Be careful when sliding the fireplace into the cabinet it may scratch or ding the wood trim, but they thoughtfully included a felt tip touch-up pen just in case you make a ding or two. I did and the pen works just fine,
It is made to fit nicely into a corner location, if one chooses that.
Not too difficult to assemble, just take your time. Screw everything tight with a phillips head driver especially the four weird bolts that connect the top piece with the base. This is a very clever concealed construction technique that I have never seen before , but very effective. Two people would be a great help putting it together, as I said it's heavy. A great product, highly recommended, we love it.

Our shipment was received on the day promised with a phone call a couple days ahead from the shipping company confirming delivery. Wonderful... My husband was a little overwhelmed taking all the parts out but I suggested we start little but within a 1/2 hour we had it finished. Wonderful... We moved it into our spot plugged it in and began to enjoy the ambiance of a fireplace. Wonderful... The simulated flame and the glass beads looking like ambers burning. Wonderful... I highly recommend...Best Deals on Dimplex Cheshire Media Console with 25 Inch Self-trimming Electric
As others have said, the heat is not strong, but I didn't need or expect much here in Florida. In reality, if it put out any more heat it would be too much, so if you just want a little heat in one room, this is great and even saves money since you won't have to turn on the Central heat just to get the one room up a couple of degrees. The other thing that is impressive is the Flame-box. It looks really nice and does seem like a real fire, but I would not refer to it as a "fireplace". it really doesn't look like a fireplace but rather like some type of gas fire rising from a bed of golden glass embers. Don't get me wrong it looks great, but unlike the picture, the output is white and golden yellow with no red in the "flames" or "embers".As for a TV stand, it is very heavy duty and very heavy in weight too. It has no problem holding my 70lb TV and probably could hold heavier, but I think most flat screens weigh less and less so likely no issues. The instructions were also easy to follow and assembly was fast. The only negative is that the top shelf is attached with lightweight cam bolts, so if you tried to lift it by the top shelf I think it would break off. That may be obvious to you, but for me, I always grab the top to move things around, so I'm glad I thought about it instead of learning the hard way.
Lastly, the "Component shelf" is very small. This may not be an issue if you have the newer "micro-slim" components, but if you have the older electronics in big rectangle black metal boxes, you will only be able to fit one thing on the shelf.
Overall a great looking and working unit.
Honest reviews on Dimplex Cheshire Media Console with 25 Inch Self-trimming Electric
We received the console in one box. Wasn't too hard to remove items. Maybe 9 pieces in all. Only took maybe 45 minutes to set up. My wife loves it. 3 bags of crushed glass was included to place where the logs would have been. Looks great. Looks like a gas fireplace. Very quiet too.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Dimplex Cheshire Media Console with 25 Inch Self-trimming Electric
Focused on this brand because of Dimplex's reputation with electric fireplaces.I was very pleasantly pleased with the media console.
It was solid wood beautifully finished and assembled without any trouble (about an hour).
It is heavy being solid wood, but can be moved fairly easily by one person.
It was delivered to my garage and I unpacked it there and carried the pieces in.
Very happy with the look. The heater is very low BTU but I was not looking for for a heater, just the look.
The remote works well and the heater can be turned off independently if you want.
My wife is happy so I am happy!
