Substantial and gorgeous! Was easy for handyman to install.

Absolutely beautiful. I can’t overstate what a lovely mantel this is. Solid and sturdy. Beautiful walnut color. Love love love. I’d order it again in a heartbeat!

We fell in love with this mantel. Our decor is light and curved, and the mantel that was present when we moved in was a painted white 2x4. So, after looking for something for 2 years, this popped up as new. It didn't have a lot of reviews, but I decided to take a chance. And I am glad we did! We ripped out a black piece of slate, and had a porcelain hearth built, and tile on the back wall behind where the hearth would go. The piece arrived very securely packaged, which is good, because it is HEAVY. You will need a couple of people to help you get it in. It was pretty simple to put together. The two sides attach securely to the top. there are a few other pieces of wood to ensure there are no gaps, and that it does attach securely to the wall. The curves are lovely and make this a unique piece. The quality of the wood is great. Solid. This looks like a very high quality mantel. We feel like it really made a statement in our living room, and leveled up the warm soft feel we were going for. Fabulous piece! Don't hesitate.

LOVE this mantle! So gorgeous and such good quality.

Very sturdy, made of real wood. we pained our mantle and it turned out wonderfully. Attaches to the wall using a french cleat, which was very easy to use.
