Love the mantel! Great quality and easy to install...once I figured out how to. No instructions were included in the box and the website does not have easy access to instructions and only email for contact. I ended up going to Lowe's and talking to people there to figure out how to mount it (clearly I am a novice). However, Midwood Designs was responsive, confirmed what I was told at Lowe's and apologized for the inconvenience. Overall...tiny hassle but love the mantel so it was worth it :)
