The mantle itself is well made, though it does have some minor nicks in it (it was open box - even though it should be without flaws, I did expect there would be anyway). They also left 2 screws partially in the board you attach to the wall  there was a clump of cat hair on that same board. Directions were also missing, but those can be found on the site. Thankfully, I’ll be able to touch up the flaws with a little sanding  re-staining  still have the mantle I wanted.
