A:AnswerHi Sue, I believe the difference that is being reflected in the image is either due to the lighting in the studio or what the flicker looked like when the shutter on the camera snapped. Does that make sense? It's the same fireplace insert in the images.
A:AnswerHello, The fireplace and TV stand are all packaged in the same box and it can't be purchased separately. We don't recommend modifying/altering the furniture as it will void the warranty.
A:AnswerI'm not sure, but if you have time it's not hard to put together. I'm an older female and did it myself. The instructions are so easy to follow it's just a little time consuming.
