This item is the perfect answer to a months long search. I have a medium sized wall mounted fireplace but the heat vent is at the top which really isn't conducive to heating the area in front of the fireplace. I originally tried one of those heavy duty plastic floor register deflectors but it didn't take long for it to get wonky - it couldn't take the heat at all. I put this wonderful, heavy duty, well made item over the heat vent and the heat now goes to the front of the fireplace instead of above (which would also not be good for the art on the wall.) Don't mind the wonky, adhesive backed mother of pearl tile, I haven't installed it yet.
