The mantel is very pretty and the top part seems very sturdy however the leg that connects to it (pictured) was breaking off as soon as I attached it to the top of the mantel and broke off minutes later. I put wood glue on it and hoping it’ll be fine once I adhere it to fireplace wall. Also, be mindful that this piece doesn’t not come with the hardware to hang it, only the handing block. I’m waiting for the separate hardware I ordered to come in but will send an updated review once it’s up.
