It’s a little unfinished, you can see all the nails used to attach all the pieces. You can easily tell it’s not a solid beam (The look I was going for). There are 5 countersunk holes in the top surface at the attaching point for the screws that secure the mantle. I feel they could have used a better system to fix it to the wall where you wouldn’t have large screw holes showing on the top surface of the shelf.
