Reviews

The mantel is beautiful. It

"The mantel is beautiful. It isn't an angeled mount, which is what I thought I was getting, and the mounting board that came with it is too small for comfort that the mantel will stay on the wall and be able to hold what we need it to hold. To fix that, our installer created a mount that will hold. I wish the mantel had come with that, but it will work now and be beautiful! Our installer created a mount with a two by four with three legs sticking out to slide the mantel onto. The two by four was mounted into studs and the mantel was secured with wood screws on the bottom that match the finish."

Best Modern Mantel Tipton Alder Wood Ebony Stain

"We love our Tipton Alder Wood Mantel. We chose the 60"" length and the color ebony. We contacted the very helpful Mantel's direct customer service and requested mounting instructions to be emailed before we received the mantel. They contacted the manufacturer and sent us the directions before receiving the mantel as well as shipping updates. The installation went well and it looks great. I included some photos showing the natural imperfections in the wood so people know what to expect."

— Priscilla (5/5)

Great mantels, we have see

"Great mantels, we have see through fireplace so 1 on each side. Exactly as expected and shipped exactly as stated. Very easy install. Both went up with ease. Called support since printed document did not have exact picture, information received in minutes. Highly recommend."

A Mantel With Appeal

"This looked great coming out the box and even better when it was mounted above the fireplace. Looks very much like cherry and is a great accent to the stone fireplace. I recommend this mantel to anyone looking for simple beauty."
