Great video. Thanks for explaining everything. I plan on building one in my bedroom.

Finally a newbie diyer 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Omg thank you so much

Good job looks great

Nice Job!

It looks great 😍😍😍

Looks great! What is the height between the bottom of your fireplace and the floor?

Looks fantastic! What did you use for the mantle?

Looks great! What size TV do you have up there?

Looks great! I’m also about to do this same kind of setup in my home as well but I also have 8ft ceilings. How high did you mount the mantle from the floor? I’m having trouble with this right now because I want a good size tv above the mantle but I need space too.

How much space is there between each side to the surround and fireplace

How high is your fireplqce from the ground, I've read to do at least 15 inches.

1. The TV is way too high. You cannot properly watch TV when the bottom of the TV is 60 inches above the floor. 2. One major flaw with this design (as with so many RU-vidrs DIY-ing electric fireplaces) is attempting to create a traditional looking fireplace with electric clone while adding a TV above. 3. Electric fireplace is not traditional; therefore the mantle serves no purpose. The mantle added at least 24 inches of unnecessary height to the TV mount. The design guideline should be “mantle or TV” but not both. 4. If you choose mantle route, you should just skip the TV altogether. Otherwise your hard work will only result in neck pain. 5. If you choose the fireplace/TV combo. You should follow the rules that the TV should be mounted no higher than 42 inches above the floor. This means that close to 90% of the RU-vid videos regarding DIYing fireplaces are misleading their audience. 6. I am so surprise that very few comments talking about the flaw with electric fireplace+mantle+TV design. Neck Pain is just not worth it.
