Retouching Review

I have 2 views like the above image. Before I start the slightly higher view I would like to know if this is looking good from your perspective? Sky/top too dark? Trying to make the product area pop.

Above image I may replace sky to even dark area. Also may lighten space around and to left of chairs. Your thoughts?

Lots of small details retouched in these that cannot be seen at this small size that will show when printed. But do note the replaced backgrounds here. QUESTION: Should I try to remove blackening at ends of fireplace interior? Remove fireplace “key”?

Below please note the fireplace details and the sky for feedback. Before for the top half, after for the lower?
