This fireplace is being as a substitute for our old fireplace. It is modern and doesn’t take up a lot of space. I think that I will purchase a mantle and see what it looks like. I do love the fireplace l know that we will enjoy as fall is coming soon. Thank youGE I took a second picture after I mounted the fireplace. It truly is a wonderful piece. I am changing everything in this room. Just wanted to share this pic. GE
