Unit had been in use for several winters until we decided on a furniture piece that has its own. It is wall mountable (brackets pre-installed), but we’ve only kept it on the floor. Can be used with buttons or remote (included) and has different levels of control for lighting, temperature, etc. Will heat a living room of good size (ours is 12′ x 12′ with tall ceiling). Has a curved glass front for display purposes with a faux LED flame on the display. It’s made out of glass and metal.
