OMG! That is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! My husband and I are looking for an electric fireplace for our central Florida home, where we DO get some really chilly winter weather. That is very lovely, and I'm sure it didn't cost you what I saw on Amazon!

Hi! Nope, it didn't cost as much (only the insert did). Plus, the overall piece is far prettier and better made than something pre-made from Amazon!

I don’t want to spend much, as I’m selling the place. I just want to upgrade it for the next owner. I can send you photos if you provide me with an email (not sure how to do it from here).

Looking into building something like this. Looks great! Is it not a fire hazard to have something that puts off heat in something made of wood like that? Is there any type of treatment to make it safe/r?
@WendiWachtelH2OBungalow5 жыл бұрын
Hi Ryan, That's a good question. It's not a fire hazard at all. The lighting is from LED bulbs and while there is a setting to put out heat, it's not a lot. There are lots of commercial fireplaces with wood surrounds and electric inserts on the market. The problem with those is they look so fake and aren't scaled to look full size.
