We received this mantel this week. We love the bold look of it and can't wait to get it installed this weekend. The only negative I can see at this point is that the mounting board that it came with was split down the middle about halfway down the board, so we will have to replace that. Wayfair was great though and gave us a credit to keep it which will easily cover the cost to replace. All in all it's a beautiful piece. I will update my review once it's mounted.
