When we returned from our last trip I had to remove the fire place to reinstall the slide out computer desk.....I found that the reason it gave way was who ever was shooting nails the day mine was built was suffering from a hang over. He/she did not come close to attaching the lower piece of frame work to the upper piece of wood. Two nails just barely cut across the edge.....In the process of reinstalling the fireplace I remembered that the door to the control panel only opened about a third of the way so it was hard to get our fingers in to turn the knobs and flip the switches. What I found was the fireplace was actually sitting on the hinges for the panel. By putting a spacer under the bottom and raising the fireplace 5/8" the panel door now opens all the way.
