LOVE the mantle, which we're using as an entry table.  Colors were spot on to the picture.  It was easy enough to install. (Clearly I'm still decorating and arranging cords.)  The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars is first, it arrived a little rough.   I think it was residual poly spray.  I was able to smooth out the finish with just a light wipe down with steel wool (NOT stainless steel).  Dad taught me this trick to get a super fine finish on wood, but some may not know this.  This light sanding didn't need another coat of poly.  It was fine as it was.  Secondly, you definitely want to pre-drill every whole.  Also, drag your screws through wax or soap before you screw them in.  Another tip from Dad.  The wax/soap lubricates the screw as it's being attached.  Makes it MUCH easier for you and the drill.
