Ameriwood Home Farmington Electric Fireplace TV Console for TVs up to 50", Ivory Pine

First the wood and finish, great!The heating unit, perfect and awesome! Fireplace log has different levels of brightness with flames and two levels of brightness for “simmering logs” effect. It has a thermostat so you can set the temp, 66-82F & “On” which means max temp continuously blowing. It has a timer, 30 minutes, 1,2,4,6 hours. Heating unit is great and does not burn so no need to worry bout pets accidentally getting burned.The catch: many reviews mention “it’s loud”. At first it’s not BUT it did get loud but the reason is because of the bolts and screws provided for the wooden furniture. The castors included are flimsy, do not really provide a great “lock” and they shift when locking. My issue is that the castors would break when “locking” the wooden panels together that holds the heating unit. That is the reason it’s loud. The heating unit is held in place by six small wooden screws (3 on each side) and a slide brack on the bottom that is also screwed onto the wood. If the housing was made better, it would not be loud.I got it on a huge sale price so I am not too upset but as far as regular price goes, def would look at other models from the same brand! Tv fits fine, 60” tv with soundbar, Xbox series s, switch (1st gen with dock) and the 5” echo show 2023 model fit in the cubbies above the heater and does not get hot. Cable management holes are decent and can work cabling around. The bigger cabinets are nicely sized and have adjustable height shelves which is a plus! Great look and still happy with it!

Box may be 150 lbs, and I can leg press close to that, but I could not pull it up my porch stairs on a hand cart (the last step being an inch higher than the rest), without hearing my back have a HUGE pop and going to Urgent Care. Please don’t be as foolish as I was - have someone help you get it in the house! Or open the box outside, and bring it in in smaller boxes (3) or open those boxes and bring the pieces in on their own. I will add that I am an older woman, so a larger man could probably pull that up without issue, but just be aware. (btw, after X-rays, It ended up just being a serious muscle strain - though not sure what the pop was.)When I checked the parts, I was missing a bracket. I called the number on the insert flyer and they were prompt to answer and quickly gathered my information. They told me it would take 14 business days, but the part(s) arrived in only 2 business days (Priority Mail). And they sent ALL hardware again rather than just the piece I was missing. That was going above and beyond. Who knows - it may come in handy.I was able to put it together (on pain killers the next day), slowly but surely. Altogether, I would say it took me, by myself, 3 hours, and I was slow. Everything fit perfectly and it feels very well-made. I had none of the issues others have had - no scratches, instructions were clear. Here are the things I like about it: ▪ Very well-packed boxes - everything was packed snugly for minimal movement during shipping ▪ Cutouts in the back cardboard behind the cupboards for cables (can be seen in one or more of my pictures) ▪ An additional slot shaped into the 2nd level for cables (the shelf your media players sit on) VERY handy for hiding any sign of cables! ▪ Lots of space behind the fireplace insert to tuck extra cables (the insert is not very deep at all - thus leaving the space behind it) ▪ Cupboards with doors that hide clutter like batteries, remotes, DVDs, spare cables, etc. ▪ Realistic-looking flames - nice for ambience ▪ Remote control for the fireplace with lots of settings and temperature control - has great fan output ▪ Very well-made construction ▪ Looks very goodThings I don’t like: ▪ Corners are a little scratchy and if wearing something nice, could catch and ruin the clothing ▪ Would have given 4 stars because of quality control not catching the missing part, but added another .5 stars for such prompt delivery of the part, so rounded up to 5Additional helpful dimensions not included in description (see my photos): ▪ Media player shelf: ~15” D x ~5” H (excludes minimal additional height on other side of lip) ▪ Cupboard: ~14” D x 18.5” H x ~13” W (depth goes to inner edge of door for closure; width does not include full inner width - only the width for fitting an object through the opening; Height is total height without shelf) ▪ Cupboard shelf heights: ~8.5”, or ~9.75”, or ~11”I've now had it for six months, and the grandkids love turning on the flames (but without heat for the summer!), and I haven't had any problems and still love how it looks and feels in my home.

These instructions had to be written by a woman. They were super-easy to follow and helped you avoid any backwards assembly issues. I have never assembled anything with so many steps with such ease. Looks amazing and has a decent amount of heat. If you’re on the fence, definitely buy it!

Fairly straightforward assembly. Everything lined up perfectly and instructions are well written and easy to follow. Paying attention to turn parts so that unfinished edges are not exposed will help! Biggest challenge is installing screws that hold firebox in cabinet. They are in a tight space... Just tape the screws to a long screwdriver! Do not use drill to tighten cam-locks... They break easy and there are NO extra parts! Seems quite sturdy when everything is tightened... No glue needed. Wood pieces are particle board with laminate coating, but is pretty decent quality. Fire is about as one should expect with a shallow firebox... not very realistic, but adjust to several settings. This unit has great heat output, but it is not adjustable... It is on till desired temp is reached and then shuts off. We would have preferred a low setting that would keep running longer. Also, we blew a breaker with the first use as our receptacles are only rated 15 amp, instead of 20. Seems odd to require a dedicated outlet when the stand also serves as a TV and component stand? Probably work better on a 20 amp circuit.

This item takes 2 people to assemble. My daughter and SIL (he is a mechanical engineer) took 2 hrs. 15min non-stop. But once it was assembled it is well worth it! Love this ~ heavy duty hardware and wood and pressed wood is very well presented !!

Great quality and all pieces assembled good. The fireplace part looks awesome. Different brightness setting and heat or no heat as needed. Perfect.

I was really surprised by how solid and beautiful this console is. The price seemed to go to be true but it was. It is very heavy in the box, luckily my husband was home and we had to use our dolly to bring it in. Assembly is easy if you follow the instructions. If you accidentally switch D and E it will not go together (so I hear lol). The fireplace gives off good heat. We live in AZ so we don’t need much but it’s enough to keep us from needing to turn on our central heat to take the chill off the living room.

It’s a great fireplace/tv stand. I picked this one for the height. It’s very sturdy & I love that these Amazon speaker stands match beautifully. I also love that the cupboards are big enough to fit the stereo in it, to hide it. It takes an hour to assemble by yourself just make sure it’s right side up. Best part..it’s delivered to your door.

We are so happy we found this unit! We've been searching for something like this for years and are so happy that we waited. The quality is great and it looks a lot better than any of the electric fireplaces you see at Home Depot etc.It comes disassembled and you WILL need longer than the "1 hour" it takes to put together that the instruction manual suggests. You WILL also need at least 2 people just to rotate and put the side & top panels on.Naturally, lay some blankets down to protect your floors and the unit itself if you're assembling it on hard surface floors.The fasteners and hardware all came separated and sealed in a compartmentalized package which made finding the exact screws, nails, dowels etc for each step extremely easy.We also recommend that you get some peel-and-stick protective furniture pads for the legs and two support feet that are underneath in the middle.There is actually a lot of open room behind the fireplace insert in the back, enough space to put a power bar for TV connections etc. As long as you're not blocking the vent in the back you should be fine.As for the heat, it kicks out enough to make the room more than comfortable. We actually use the fireplace more for ambiance than as a heat source. It also has a limiter so if it begins to get too hot it will actually turn off the heater function automatically.We highly recommend this fireplace. Yes, it is on the more expensive side when it comes to an electric fireplace TV stand. However, the quality and look of it when it's all set up makes to really feel like a "forever" type piece of furniture.

We really like this unit. No heat source in the main room and this has been great so far. Easy to program. As far as the assembly....follow step by step instructions ( I know thats hard for the guys) I dont recall how long it took me and Hubby to put it together but it took a while. Just organize yourself and it is fine. Suggest 2 people as it might get frusterating with one person but it can be done. Im actually impressed with the unit. Will update when we hit the winter months in Northern Ontario.

I ordered a Black unit. This unit has a Black woodgrain paper laminate.Took a while before arrived.Arrived damaged pieces and lots of scratches and a few chips in front pieces. Replacement pieces took another few weeks and also arrived in worse condition than original shipment. Company was contacted and resulted in me keeping the fireplace and using what I could and covering damage with a Black permanent marker so not so obvious. With the Unit being Black with a paper laminate you can really see the damaged whereas I believe a woodgrain would not be so visible.Easy to put together and comes with an instruction manual that had a couple of errors but easy to figure out. All pieces were included and nothing missing. Unit once put together was level and all pieces fit evenly.All in all the unit firebox works well so far and from a distance it is a very nice looking unit.The suggestion I would make is that plugs for the cam locks and the front screws would be nice to finish off the piece so they are not so visible. I believe it would make the unit look more professional. The design where the cords go for hooking up are in really good places on the unit. The level blocks used for supports and leveling the unit at the bottom could have been #1 - wider or # 2 just one long one for the middle underneath for support. I found that no support in the center of the unit underneath.It would also be a benefit if the company had paper or some kind of protection between the boards in their shipping boxes and that would really help in where possibly no scratch or chipped boards. Also more styrofoam on the perimeter of each box would protect from corner damage. But the one box on my replacement order that I got had the styrofoam and tape totally off one end - this is a shipping issue not the companies product! The replacement policy is Excellent but how many times should you have to replace when the shipping keeps damaging the boxes???Company was EXCELLENT in handing my issue and I am satisfied with their offer and Rated a 4star because of the issues regarding my order.

Liked everything about this electric tv console. The rustic colored one is beautiful and the price is right on. Easy to assemble when you separate all the pieces and place them in order. The manual explains very well how to assemble. Nothing arrived damaged and neither missing parts. Takes a while to assemble but patience is what you need as there are so many bits and pieces. Looks beautiful and fireplace is gorgeous. Thank you.
