added elegance

I used this mantel as a shelf to use items for added decoration.

Grand!!!!

Our new mantle is perfect!!!! High quality, looks fantastic and was easy to install!!!!

2 Different Types of Wood

Wish my contractor had said something earlier. Just spoke with him. I wanted it stained an espresso color. He’s having trouble finding one that will work. Actually doesn’t think any stain will turn out one solid color as the matel is made out of 2 different types of wood & is of poor quality. You get what you pay for. The area to be finished also has a lot of glue from your construction process that needs to be sanded off to take stain. We’re just going to paint it black. Should have returned.

Good Product but the pics do not show all surfaces

The details did not show that the bottom of the mantel had a lip.

Ok product for price, look it over carefully

The first one had a milling problem with the trim detail near the shelf that was visible after installation. Had to order a new one to replace it.

Good quality for the price

Was satisfied with the mantle and looks great hanging. Some reviews mentioned the white was just primer but looks just fine without another coat of paint. For the price, you’d expect a cheap composite (especially these days) so the pine was a nice step up.

Read the Small Print

Hanging hardware not included. This was buried on their website, and not immediately available. The mantel itself would have been nice to hang -- but having to purchase the appropriate hardware to hang it, would have been expensive!!

Exactly what we expected. Installed

Fireplace Mantle

I love my new mantle. It was very easy to install and looks great!

Perfect, exceeded our expectations!

We got this mantel in the espresso/chocolate color. Such a beautiful piece and great quality.

Bad business practices By Manteldirect

Before I bought my mantel I had a chat with mantel direct and they directed me to a few mantels that would work for the size of my fireplace. I went ahead and ordered one they recommended and when it arrived it did not fit. After a few conversations with mantel direct it was determined by them that the return costs were on me. It was going to cost me half the cost of the mantel to mail it back so it now sits in my garage.

I would recommend to others

We just mounted/installed on our remodeled fireplace. It looks beautiful :)

Gorgeous Mantel!

Beautiful mantel goes beautifully with our fireplace!

Design flaw. Had to return.

There was a large, awkward gap between the mantle and the wall. It rocked and there’s no way I could’ve put anything on top with confidence. The wood piece anchored to the wall was being stressed to bear the weight. Without the mantle sitting flush to the wall, the stress remained on a thinner, arched part of the mounting piece. This issue was partially by design, & partially because the wall was not completely level. Any house is going to have a bit of imperfections once it settles. You’d be hard-pressed to find 72” of completely flat surface on the wall you’d like to mount this. HAD to return. There was no way to make it work.
