This mantel is really nice. It’s sturdy and is solid and I like the distressed look.
I got the 60” mantel to replace my old cherry wood traditional one. This one brings my fireplace more up to date. I was thinking that I needed to replace the slate tile around which I did about 14 years ago but I’m thinking that this change is enough to update it.

Installation wasn’t too difficult, I do have a drill which I think was necessary. It took me a couple hours to do it myself.
