What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing's installation field says freestanding or wall mount, while feature text also describes recess fitting. Confirm the selected installation and fit dimensions before planning a media-wall opening. Temperature is stated as 18-27 degrees in feature text, with no unit in that claim. The description of the fuel-bed choices also varies between three options and four decoration options. The stated heat output and two heater settings are not reconciled with each other in the listing.
