Though we have not yet had the chimney put in for our stove, we are very pleased with the quality of the stove. It is very well made and durable. We love the fact that the firebricks can be purchased at any hardware store. It is a large stove but does not overpower our kitchen. We are very excited to try it out soon. Putting the stove together was a little tricky but the directions are very clear and guide each step along the way. Very pleased so far!
