the price was the cheapest out of three other places that i checked. one place was only a couple dollars higher but since i've never done any business with any of them i naturally went with the lowest price. and although i've been a Kentucky resident for 20 years now, i was born and raised in the Great Pacific Northwest, which this fire place provider was in Washington State, close enough :) Joshua was the person that helped me and took the order. the glass was cut to a perfect fit and delivered within three to four days! I will use Woodstove Fireplace Glass for my future woodstove/fireplace needs. thanks Josh ;)
