This mantel arrived ahead of schedule which was such a pleasant surprise.  When we opened the box my first impression was WOW this thing is beautiful.  We put it against a 50 year old brick fireplace in our small sitting room.  The fireplace is 8 1/2 feet wide and just needed a boost.  The mantel I ordered was 6 feet long.  It was easy to install and you can't believe what a beautiful difference it made in our fireplace......we are so pleased

Pros: Easy install
Cons: None
