Dogberry Collectionsm-farm-7205-agok-none Modern Farmhouse Mantel Shelf, Aged Oak, 72"

Well made

The mantle arrived well-packed with no damage and is beautiful. For mounting, you receive a piece of 2x4 and a few long screws and short screws, but no brackets or other hardware, such as drywall mounts, which I didn’t need. No instructions were included, but it was easy to figure out what to do. I bought masonry screws and L brackets at the hardware store. (Note: Only a maximum of two inch L brackets fit inside the mantle (hallow) without sticking out visibly). Turns out it wobbles a bit with installation using the provided materials and L brackets (I needed eight brackets total), so I had to purchase and use a second 2x4 to put on the top along with the provided 2x4 on the bottom. I used the provided 2x4 and large screws, which are visible, to mount the bottom because I didn’t want to see them on top. I had to drill small holes and use screws that weren’t visible on the top. There’s a little give, when wiggled, but it’s solid and sturdy. I really love the look of the mantle, which we put off-center to make it more modern looking on our large brick wall. This product should come with better hardware, including masonry hardware, and instructions. Otherwise, it’s great!

Transaction was good and item was as described. Wife needed to return the item since it didn't look right against the new stone fireplace. Wife missed the seller charging a 20% restock fee which seem's excessive for return's. Just need to make sure the item is exactly what you want or look for other seller's that don't charge this fee.

Needed a new mantel but wanted a more “meaty” look that added character to the room. Although risky to buy online where you can’t see the actual product ahead of time, I trusted the reviews. Glad I did. It came in and the box was so huge I was a little worried. I put it up pretty quick (easy to install) and it looks fab! Now be careful that you have the space....this monster came in much bigger than expected (not the width) but it was 10” deep and 5.5 inches thick. I love it, but you may need to verify your dimensions.

We just put the mantel up today. Love it. I haven’t decorated anything yet just put some stuff up so it’s not empty. Love it. Well worth the money.

When I saw this one I knew this is exactly what I need for our project! This is not a solid wood but is easier probably to install it?? Look great, pretty sturdy, greysh/woodish color but I love it. Goes exactly with our home. If you want to more deeper grey probably u will need to stain it more. Great mantle, I will always recommend it, also super fast shipping, faster then expected!

The color was very green in hue and "chocolate" color it is not! The stain color is not well represented.

It was damaged slightly on the bottom and there was a slight smell of stain but otherwise a very nice looking mantel and it looks great in our house. Very happy with it.
