Absolutely perfect!
I wanted a mantle but I was not sure how I would hang it. I was intrigued by this one because the reviews saying how easy it was- and it truly was. I doesn’t come with screws so pick those up beforehand. I stained the inside of the mantle as a color test. The first stain was too red. The second one is the one I went with. It took 2-3 coats and I’m so happy with the end result. I let it dry 24 hours before hanging. The bracket went first- I screwed it into the studs. The mantle just hangs right on the bracket. It has some heft but it’s fine for one person. I probably could have bought it a Iittle longer but it’s too late now. It was a fun little project!  Zero regrets!!
