The mantel arrived in a reasonable amount of time considering the delays from the coronavirus. There was no damage thanks to the packaging and insane amount of styrofoam in it. Installation was very easy, but there were some small irregularities in the wood. The hanger bar had a slight bow to it making it difficult to level it perfectly. Also the trim pieces were not cut right so I had to sand down about a centimeter or there would be a gap on the bottom. I also had to fill in a the seam where the legs met the top piece with wood filler. All in all I am very happy with it. I thought about leaving it unfinished but decided on a chalk paint. Looks great!
