I have 3 pieces for my living room ordered and they really liked me. I'm a fan of indirect lighting. However, the supplied bulbs provide almost too much light. With a dimmer they are awesome for sure. The flame comes out the top and bottom. Unlike visible on the product pictures, but the aluminum does not look dull but more like brushed aluminum, which is not quite as good fits when switched off with me in the apartment. If they are turned on, it is hardly noticeable. The glass panels can be removed, but not directly flutschen out, so you need not be afraid of them. I have almost 40 pay per unit and am very satisfied with the relationship between price and quality.
