BOSHIRO 72" Electric Fireplace TV Stand vs R.W.FLAME 60 Inch Recessed Electric Fireplace

Buy the BOSHIRO if you want a furniture piece: it holds a TV up to 80 inches, has three compartments, and adds a fireplace to a living room wall. Buy the R.W.FLAME if you want heat and flame effects only, recessed into a wall or set into an existing surround. The BOSHIRO is a heavy, assembly-required cabinet rated 4.4 from 112 ratings; the R.W.FLAME is a slim steel insert with ETL certification, 5,100 BTU and 400 square feet of coverage, but it gives you no storage and no mantel.

• Choose the BOSHIRO if you need a TV stand and storage with a fireplace built in, and you have room for a 112 lb freestanding unit.
• Choose the R.W.FLAME if you already have a wall or surround and want a recessed heater with more flame settings and a smaller footprint.
