Insanely overpriced. Upon delivery it appears to me I paid $300 for about $10 worth of thin pine boards sloppily screwed together and with stain even more sloppily applied. Oh, and it's only part of the product you need to install the mantel. All that the $300 covers is the hollow wood box, the additional piece of wood that gets secured to wall and which the mantel is then fastened to doesn't even come with the product. So you will still have to purchase additional lumber and have it cut to size . Don't forget to buy all the mounting screws too, because those certainly don't come with.
