We converted a small family room in to a bedroom for our son so painted the stone chimney black and installed this shelf unit on the chimney facing. Looks fantastic! Easy to put together with one person but, for support of the shelf, you really need two people for install. Be sure to use the stickers that help for screw hole placement - makes it SO much easier! I would recommend waiting until hung to place the white covers over the visible screw areas on the shelf. Sturdy and fits his decor perfectly.
