For the price we paid, the quality was just ok. Everything was going well until we mounted the mantle onto the cleat. We chose this particular install method because we thought it would be the sturdiest. Far from it, we fought getting this to sit flush against the wall and sit level for quite a while. Finally we had to reinforce it with extra screws that sit on top of the mantle which we were trying to avoid. I would definitely not pay this much for this product again.
