If you want a fireplace arrangement with a usable surface on both sides, the Deko Living outdoor fireplace is the closest match here: it has two side tables, built-in log storage, and a wood-burning firebox. The other options are electric fireplace consoles or wall-mounted fireplaces, not fireplaces with benches. Choose them if your priority is indoor heating, TV storage, or a wall-mounted flame display rather than built-in side seating.

Deko Living 70-Inch Outdoor Fireplace
Best for: Outdoor spaces where you want a central wood fire and a surface on each side for drinks, snacks, or small decorative items. This is the closest listed option to a fireplace with functional extensions on both sides, although its features describe side tables, not benches or seats.
The rectangular fireplace measures 70 inches and is made from steel with a powder-coated finish described as weather-resistant and rust-resistant. Its integrated log holder keeps firewood close to the fire, and a log poker is included for managing the fire. Lead-free materials are also listed in the product details.
Why it was selected: Unlike the indoor TV consoles, this model explicitly includes side tables as part of the fireplace design. That makes it the most relevant choice for buyers who want two useful side surfaces around an outdoor fire.
Limitation: The tables are not seating. The listing describes a wood-burning outdoor fireplace, so it is not the right fit for someone seeking an electric indoor unit or built-in benches.
BELLEZE 68-Inch Fireplace TV Stand
Best for: An indoor living room or bedroom where an electric fireplace, TV stand, and enclosed storage need to share one footprint. The 68-inch console is listed for TVs up to 75 inches and has a 36-inch electric fireplace insert.
The feature list describes a four-level flame brightness setting, sparkling sound, separate flame and heat operation, and a remote with a one-to-eight-hour timer. Its 1,400-watt heater is stated to serve spaces up to 400 square feet, with temperature settings from 64°F to 82°F. Overheating protection and CSA and UL certification are also specified.
Storage includes drawers on both sides of the top, two central open shelves, and cabinets with adjustable shelves on either side. A rear wire hole helps keep cables organized. These side cabinets provide storage, not seating or bench surfaces.
Why it was selected: It is a practical option for buyers whose idea of a fireplace with “both sides” means a centered fire with useful storage flanking it. Limitation: Choose another product if you need an outdoor wood fire or actual benches beside the fireplace.
OKYCI 70-Inch Electric Fireplace Mantel
Best for: Buyers who want a mantel-style electric fireplace with a more traditional farmhouse appearance and enclosed storage on both sides. The product listing highlights a raised 3D brick-textured surround rather than a flat printed pattern.
The 42-inch electric insert is listed as providing 5,000 BTU of supplemental heat for rooms up to 400 square feet. It offers five flame brightness levels and a temperature range from 64°F to 82°F. Controls are available on the unit and through the included remote. The listed features also include a one-to-eight-hour timer, memory function, overheat protection, and heat lock.
Two upper drawers are intended for smaller items such as remotes and chargers. Side cabinets add enclosed storage for items such as books, blankets, games, or media accessories. This arrangement gives the fireplace a balanced look, but the cabinets are not benches.
Why it was selected: It is better for buyers prioritizing a substantial mantel appearance and storage flanking the fire. Limitation: The product is an indoor electric fireplace console, not a wood-burning fireplace or seating unit.
PRAISUN 70-Inch Fireplace TV Stand
Best for: Larger living rooms where a wide electric fireplace and TV console can form a central focal point. The stand measures 70.9 inches wide and is listed to accommodate TVs up to 80 inches. Its 48-inch fireplace insert is wider than the inserts in several of the other listed consoles.
The flame display and heating function can operate independently, so the flames can be used without heat. The product description emphasizes a realistic log display and a French-inspired design with molding and panel details. The broad tabletop can hold décor, photos, or entertainment accessories, according to the listing.
Why it was selected: Choose this model if you want a wide, mantel-like console with a larger flame opening and space for a large TV. Its balanced design may suit someone seeking a fireplace centered between matching furniture, though the product itself does not include side benches.
Limitation: The supplied features do not specify detailed storage configuration, heating coverage, or temperature settings. Compare those details before choosing it over models with more clearly listed storage or heater specifications.
Maxhonor 60-Inch Three-Sided Wall Fireplace
Best for: Buyers who want a wall-mounted electric fireplace with flame visibility from three sides rather than furniture positioned on both sides. The listing says the unit can be hung on a wall and describes a three-sided viewing design.
It offers 12 flame color effects and LED side lights. The flame display can operate without the heating function, which allows the visual effect to be used without added heat. A push-button control and remote are listed for adjusting the flames, side lights, timer, and temperature. The stated temperature range is 62°F to 82°F, and the heater is listed at 750 or 1,500 watts.
Why it was selected: This is the better choice if “on both sides” refers to a flame effect visible at different angles, rather than two benches beside a fireplace. It also avoids taking up floor space with a TV console.
Limitation: The listing does not describe included benches, side tables, or storage. Confirm that the planned wall location and installation approach suit the room before buying.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a Fireplace With Space on Both Sides
Do you mean benches, side tables, or side cabinets?
Clarify what “on both sides” means before comparing products. A bench is intended for sitting; a side table is a surface for items; a cabinet provides enclosed storage. The Deko Living listing specifies side tables, while BELLEZE and OKYCI list side cabinets. None of these five products is described as including benches.
If built-in seating is essential, look for a fireplace surround or outdoor fireplace set that explicitly names benches and gives their dimensions. Do not treat a cabinet or narrow table as a seat unless the manufacturer identifies it for that purpose and provides suitable seating specifications.
Should you choose indoor electric or outdoor wood-burning?
Electric fireplaces suit indoor arrangements where you want an adjustable flame display and, depending on the model, supplemental heat. Several listed electric models allow the flame effect to run independently of heat. The Deko Living unit is instead a wood-burning outdoor fireplace with a log holder and poker. Select the fuel type and location first, because these options serve different purposes.
How much room should the fireplace and furniture take?
Measure the wall or patio area, including the clearance needed around nearby furniture and the walking space in front. For TV consoles, check the listed overall width and the maximum supported TV size. The PRAISUN stand is 70.9 inches wide and is listed for TVs up to 80 inches; BELLEZE is 68 inches wide and lists support for TVs up to 75 inches. A wide insert can dominate a small room, so compare the console proportions with the space available.
Which heating details matter?
Compare the listed heating coverage, wattage or heat output, temperature range, timer, and safety features. Do not assume all electric inserts heat the same area. BELLEZE lists a 1,400-watt heater for spaces up to 400 square feet, while OKYCI lists 5,000 BTU of supplemental heat for rooms up to 400 square feet. Treat these as manufacturer-provided specifications, not a guarantee of performance in every room.
If you mainly want the look of a fire, a model with independent flame and heat controls can offer a flame display without operating the heater. If supplemental warmth is the priority, compare the specific heater details and consider the room’s size and layout.
Do you need storage or an open, minimal design?
Count the types of storage you will use. BELLEZE lists drawers, open shelves, adjustable cabinet shelves, and a wire hole. OKYCI lists two drawers and two side cabinets. These are useful for organizing media items and household accessories, but closed storage and open shelves serve different needs. A wall-mounted fireplace may be preferable when you do not want a floor-standing console.
What should you check before ordering?
- Confirm whether the product is designed for indoor or outdoor use.
- Check its full dimensions, TV size limit where applicable, and the intended location.
- Verify whether side features are seats, tables, shelves, or cabinets.
- Review the listed heating controls and safety features for electric models.
- For a wood-burning unit, consider the firewood arrangement and how the included poker will be used.
