Nice surround that went together easily (4 bolts).  The pieces to close in the inside of the surround are separate so you can put tile or stone on the fireplace and then rip the pieces to fit.  In my case, I attached the pieces using brads and then tiled up to them.

I debated painting or staining this surround.  I wasn't sure how well it would take stain but I figured that if it didn't look good I could always paint over it.  It didn't take penetrating stain well at all; very blotchy. But, I then tried gel stain and it came out very good so if you're going to go that route I suggest gel stain.  I put two coats of polyurethane on it after staining and it looks great.
