The mantel itself was quite nice.  However, I made the unfortunate mistake of purchasing an open box item.  When selecting the item for the purchase, there was a note on the website for extended holiday return.  You have to then go to the return policy… read the small print near the end of the return policies to find that the open box items are not eligible for… NO EXCEPTIONS.  Unfortunately, the item is too large for the space intended.  I have a mantel that is not useable, and I’m out $200 .  The mantel is too large for the area intended. Lesson Learned:  DO NOT PURCHASE OPEN BOX ITEMS!!!
