This Dimplex fireplace is outstanding. First off, the logs and flame look so real, I just have to turn it on and instantly I have the most realistic flame and the unit puts out heat. Secondly, the walnut finish which is a high end furniture finish, it makes the whole room look as if I did a major renovation. The value of this unit far exceeds my expectations.

Love this fireplace. Looks almost real. I only disliked having to assemble. It is a lovely addition to my bedroom.Best Deals on Dimplex GDS20-1128BW Traditional Electric Fireplace, Burnished
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality look of the wood in this product. It was pretty easy to assemble and the "flames" are realistic. The mantle is large enough to display knick-knacks on it and even when it's not "lit", it's pretty!Honest reviews on Dimplex GDS20-1128BW Traditional Electric Fireplace, Burnished
my only dislike of this product is that I wish the blower fan pushed the heat further out rather than a direct upward draft. I have 9 foot ceilings and I want to heat my room, not the ceiling. It was a great price, east to put together and looks gorgeous.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Dimplex GDS20-1128BW Traditional Electric Fireplace, Burnished
This is our third Dimplex living flame electric heater. We have two that resemble free-standing coal stoves and our last purchase which is this Traditional Electric Fireplace, Burnished Walnut. The wooden surround is real wood and not particle board. It requires assembly but is so well made, it is actually a pleasure to put together. Good furniture grade product. Love it!I would have given a rating of 4.5 stars instead of 5 stars. It looses 1/2 point because the "flame" effect seems a little dim. In the other two heaters, the flames are much brighter and really look authentic. This looks a little holographic but is not objectionable. From a distance of 4'-6', the effect is nice but requires the room to be a little dark. Around dusk, you get a nice cozy feel when it is on and it completes the mood which is very nice.
To compensate for the dim flames, I considered putting higher wattage bulbs in, but they are mini-base bulbs and only go to 60 watt, which is what the fireplace came with. Careful consideration led me to increase the flame brightness by creating a reflector to augment the light. The bulbs are covered by a small inspection panel which is easily removed. I cut two pieces of aluminum foil the size of the inspection cover. I attached one piece to the inside of the inspection cover, shiniest side out and the other to the space below the bulbs, shiniest side up to create a two sided reflector. I don't exaggerate when I say that it doubled the brightness of the flames immediately! An added unexpected benefit is that the unit is cooler to the touch on the inspection cover, which got quite hot from the burning bulbs. Apparently, the reflector reflects the heat from the bulbs as well as the light, hence the cooler feel. A good job all around!
I would only ever consider buying a Dimplex product as I have done so for over 20 years and have always been completely satisfied with their performance. The 3D flame effect is unmatched and the remote control is a nice touch. I highly recommend this particular product, and look forward to enjoying it for years to come, especially since I made a simple
modification which enhances the experience.
