Heater output, per the listing

The heat the listing states. Plenty to take the chill off the room you sit in; how far it reaches depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling, and our supplemental heat planner turns your room into a rough answer.

What it has going for it

What changes in your evenings

74 in wide, per the listing. A statement piece: it will be the first thing people see when they walk in. Tape the outline on the wall before you order; a mantel always looks smaller in the photos.

50 in firebox. A wide fire for a mantel, so the flame reads as a fireplace rather than a gadget under the shelf.

1,500 W. Supplemental heat for the room you sit in: it takes the edge off a cold evening while the furnace stays turned down. Real coverage depends on your insulation, windows and ceiling height. Our supplemental heat planner puts it in numbers for your room.

Living room or bedroom?

For the living room, 74 inches of fire are wide enough to anchor a big wall. All those flame colors are made for showing off when friends come round. The app or Alexa can start the fire before you are even home. A mantel is a centrepiece, with a shelf for the photos and the stockings.

For a bedroom or a study, the thermostat holds the temperature instead of baking the room. The flame runs without heat, so it can glow on a warm night too.

On balance it is a living-room centrepiece that can also do a smaller room, not the other way round.

Great for you if…

You want the chill off one room on cold evenings
You like to change the mood of the room
You like to run the living room from your phone

Skip it if…

You want it to replace your heating: it is supplemental heat for one room
You like to fall asleep in front of it: the listing names no timer

Price and cost per inch of width

$1,999.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each stated inch of width costs about $27. That puts it around the middle of the 22 mantel fireplaces we have a price for.

Cost per inch is only a rough yardstick: the heater, the flame options and the build count as much as the width.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B0FNG3ZB3F), where today's price, stock and seller apply. Sizes and bundles of the same family often sit at different prices.

A better fit for your room?

Short on wall space? The Real Flame Crawford Slim 48" (9.2/10) is 48 in wide, per its listing.

Our take

The verdict

The Country Living Brookstone 74" Package earns its place with a 74-inch mantel and a 50-inch fire in the middle. Only 61 buyers have rated it so far (4.7/5), so treat the score as an early read. The catch with this Country Living electric fireplace with mantel: the heat figure is the seller's, and your room, windows and insulation decide what you really feel. We'd pick it if you want the chill off one room on cold evenings; otherwise, put it next to the Duraflame Shiplap Wall Mantel Fireplace first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Check how many boxes arrive. Keep the anti-tip hardware where you can find it; it goes on before anything goes on top.

The first evening

Run through the flame colors once, then settle on the one that suits the room. The 1,500 W heater takes the chill off the room you sit in.

Day to day

The remote on the sofa arm, the thermostat set once, and a quick dust of the glass now and then. Our maintenance guide has the rest.

Summer

Heater off, flame on: the glow stays on the wall in July without warming the room.

What buyers say

Buyers give it 4.7/5, an excellent record, above our ranked picks' 4.6 average. 61 reviews is still a modest pile, so a handful of new ones can move it.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Country Living Brookstone 74" Package: check the wall, because 74 in of mantel needs that much clear wall, plus an outlet within cord reach behind it.

Before you buy

Your wall

Tape the mantel's outline on the wall at full size and live with it for a day; it is the cheapest way to know. Our mantel package guide has the rest.

The firebox inside

50 in firebox, per the listing. Check which insert you are actually getting, because photos can show a different one.

The outlet

Pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask.

Assembly day

Mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Country Living Brookstone 74" Package any good?

We rate it 7.5/10 (very good). It is based on 61 buyer reviews averaging 4.7/5 and the specifications stated in the listing.

What size and heater output does the Country Living Brookstone 74" Package state?

Its listing states a 74-inch width, a 1,500 W heater output and recessed (in-wall) installation. Those are the maker's figures, so check in the installation drawing whether the width means the frame, the firebox or the opening. Our supplemental heat planner puts 1,500 W in context for your room.

What power supply does the Country Living Brookstone 74" Package need?

The listing states 1,500 W heater. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.

What do you get with the Country Living Brookstone 74" Package?

Its listing states a 74-inch mantel, a 50-inch firebox, a 1,500 W heater, 6 flame colors, Alexa and app control and a flame that runs without the heat. Those are the seller's figures; for how real the flames look in a living room and how loud the fan runs at night, the buyer reviews are the better guide.

What should I check before ordering the Country Living Brookstone 74" Package?

Your wall: tape the mantel's outline on the wall at full size and live with it for a day; it is the cheapest way to know. Our mantel package guide has the rest. The firebox inside: 50 in firebox, per the listing. Check which insert you are actually getting, because photos can show a different one. The outlet: pick the outlet before you pick the finish: a free one close by, nothing heavy on the same circuit, and no extension cord. Our power requirements guide lists the questions to ask. Assembly day: mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.
