This TV Stand was packaged very well none of the items were damaged. All the parts were clearly labeled and they even included some spare screws. I assembled this TV Stand by myself and it took me about 2.5 hours from start to finish. No remote was included with this item, but I think there is another model you can buy that comes with a remote. I used hand tools to assemble and my screwdriver had magnetic tips which I think helped. I did use a hand drill to screw in the back because there were so many screws. It heater seems to put out out a decent amount of heat and the flames look okay, but a bit fake. You will have to be very careful when assembling parts because the wood scratches easily. I had a small scratch on the top of the TV stand that I noticed only after I finished putting it together. Overall it was a great buy and looks great in my living room.
