I decided to get the deluxe model because of the color changing light feature. I have looked at both the regular and deluxe versions for a few weeks. Prices kept going up and up for both. When I saw that the graphite deluxe was down to 319 I couldnt pass it up. There was a scratch just above the fireplace that was very noticeably white against the graphite color. Instead of looking for a gray marker that may or may not match, I used a lead pencil to color the scratch in. Matched perfectly. The photo shows that the graphite is a light gray, but it is really a dark graphite gray. The stand was very easy to put together, maybe an hour and a half. There were no issues putting it together. It is the focal point in the light gray and blue/aqua living room. I currently use the aqua color lights, and it is beautiful!! The flames are the regular yellow/orange color, and look very real. The crystals are far more beautiful than the fake log look of other fireplaces (I have a fake log fireplace in the bedroom).
My 70 tv sits on top with the electronics sitting behind the tv. I chose not to put the electronics on the glass shelves, instead putting beautiful glass objects on the shelves to reflect the light. I was not disappointed with this at all. Great price for a heavy, quality, beautiful piece of furniture.
So Impressed!
