Next year I plan on having it faced.
Marble or granite.
It’s the only strong element in the room.
We don’t use the gas insert. I fired it up once when we moved in and it needs a cleaning.
When the burners have debris on them the smell is bad.
You must have them serviced every year .
I think it’s too hot too with these low ceilings .
Having it removed when I do the makeover.
