To me, a stone mantel fireplace that yells, “Warm for the holidays!”. Now, with a stone electric fireplace, you can have a hearth with warm, flickering flames in virtually any room that you want. Just order it, assemble it and plug it in.
The difficult part may actually be having to choose which one is best for your home. Below, I’ve outlined the features and advantages of each model. This way, you can compare them all at once.
