It's beautiful. If you want to add some art to your fireplace or just want it for the heat distribution properties this is as good as it gets. Very fast delivery, great service and a great product. I was looking at some cheaper fire backs because it is expensive but the cheap ones aren't thick enough to take heat and they crack. As soon as I picked up the box this came in I knew I made the right choice. It's very heavy, about an inch thick looks terrific will last a lifetime and throws extra heat back into the room. If you want a fire back for your fire place my advice is pay a little extra and buy 1 that will last forever and the thicker they are the better heating properties they have so you win there too.
