Absolutely beautiful! This is one of the best purchases I ever made for my home. It is gorgeous. I can't imagine a style that this mantel would not complement. The hanger is wonderful. The mantel just hangs like a picture on the wall and is easy to remove if you need to - which we did when hanging a new TV. Just pull up on it, and it comes off the hanger. I painted mine white to go with my trim and it makes the fireplace elegant and wonderful. I stapled a few narrow ribbons on the back which I can pull forward when I want to hang stockings or greens...I just tie them on the ribbons and afterwards, lay the ribbons towards the back until needed again.
