Buyer beware. Measurements are incorrect. Just received delivery and checked the measurements twice to make sure I didn't read specs wrong. The listing states 5.5H x 6W x 8D. The actual measurements should say: 5.5H x 5.5W x 8D. 

If you're looking for a wide mantel, this isn't for you. It's stained nicely and made well, but for just under $300 it's not what I really wanted.
