I am a small woman and I put this together mostly by myself. It did take a long time but everything is made with great quality. This is the first flat package built where everything aligned perfectly. It also came extremely well packaged. It is particle board but its very heavy (the whole thing weighs about 100lbs) and looks really nice. There is no remote for the fireplace- it has two switches. On and off for the lights and on and off for the heater. Im pleased with the heat output of the heater (pretty much an average space heater). This is a beautiful item made with care. .recommend
Beautiful and quality item
