Beautiful wood mantel. We are pleased.

Looks great! Super easy to install.

Exactly what we were looking for. Easy installation

Great quality, fine craftsmanship, easy to install! I purchased it unfinished so I could match some existing wood in my living room. I would certain buy from e-fireplace again and have recommended it to others already.

Was exactly as shown, looks great!

Looks great, as expected. After awhile, the distress really pops.

Beautiful, economical and great service. Super Fast.

I couldn't have been happier with my mantle purchase. The price was right, it came super fast, and it is absolutely beautiful. Wish I could have also purchased extra corbels for my matching bar, but it couldn't be done. The company did go out of their way to try and get them for me, but the people who make them wouldn't do it. They checked for me and got me an answer very quickly, which I really appreciated. This is a great company.

While it looks big and substantial, it's actually fairly lightweight. It was easy to stain and install, though there is a flaw that the stain would not cover. The flaw is not part of the planned distress but rather it looks like a plastic type of filler was used on a nail head, also on the end joins and the stain will not cover, as the stain can not be absorbed. Otherwise, I'd have given it 5 stars.

Everything we expected

It was a great purchase. I did receive a piece that was defective and the company replace it right away great customer service

Love it. Finished it with a dark stain & came out beautifully.

This item arrived early and it was not hard to install. Love the color and design.

Everything was perfect. The price, the service and the product. Nothing but good things to say.

Perfect

Very well packaged for Shipping. After we stained it ourselves to match the flooring, the install was simple and a breeze!!! It looks fabulous and was very affordable!!!

First, let me start by saying I have been searching for the perfect mantel for months. I recently bought a new house and my fireplace needed a mantel. What I love about this store is that you get the option to either order it natural or already finished. I went with natural. I had ordered a mantel from another store and it just didn't have the pizazz I was looking for. I sent it back and continued my search. I found this mantel and loved the looks of it. I placed my order and instantly received a message saying they were working on my piece. My mantel took no longer than 5 days to come in. Nervously, I opened the box, which was packed very well. Oh my and the surprise that laid within this beautiful packaging was pure amazing. The mantel is clearly made well. The instructions were easy to follow. It took me under a hour to get the whole thing up. I absolutely love it. I get compliments all the time. I stained mine to match my existing wood colors in the house. It's perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I will be using these nice folks again.

This mantel was exactly what I wanted and it looks beautiful above our fireplace. Great mantel with a fantastic price! We're very pleased.

We received our Shenandoah fireplace mantle exactly as promised.

Installation was a breeze and how it contributes to the dramatic transformation of our living room is beyond our wildest imagination. We had a very ordinary looking fireplace and mantle when we bought the house. Now we have an eye popping mantle that is the envy of all our neighbors. We have told everyone who has asked where we bought it and what a fantastic deal you provided. Hope you get a lot more orders from Tucson, Arizona.

Received mantle in great condition. Packaging was totally adequate. Installation was simple, and it looks fantastic. Have referred others who have seen our and asked about it.

This piece arrived on time, packaged well. Easy to install. Looks grand and color is beautiful.
Exactly what the dr. Ordered. :)

Ordered the unfinished mantel and my carpenter stained it to match the window sils. The mantel turned out better than expected. Great mantel for the price. My carpenter said that he could not have built a mantel for the same price and was very impressed at my purchase. Very happy with the mantel.

My new mantel came perfectly packaged with easy to mount instructions. Delivery was in a timely fashion as promised.

An amazing addition to my fireplace. Was easy to install and looks Awesome! And the price was easy on my wallet. I would recommend these mantels to anyone wanting to add a rustic look to their living room (where mine is) or den or wherever.I ordered mine in the new color Expresso. Nice!

Very nice product, not too heavy and was easy to install.

Love the mantel! Got the unfinished as I wanted to stain it the same colors as my floors. Wish the building process took better care in not getting glue all over as extra steps had to be taken to cover or further distress those areas. Still working on the room (painting next) but pic attached.

Of all the places I shopped for a mantle EfireplaceStore I thought had best mantle and has best prices for quality for the money. It's a beautiful piece of wood and looks wonderful over my fireplace. It was everything I expected.

I bought the 60in mantle unfinished and found it stained easily, and looks great. The mounting was straightforward, and while it was a two person job in terms of one holding the mounting board to get it placed/leveled perfectly while the other person marks where the holes need to be drilled, etc, it gave us no trouble. It is hollow and attaches to a mounting board, some people may feel that is cheap, but I can't imagine trying to hang a solid mantle of that size, you'd need a crane :-) Also the "distressing" is quite obviously done by a machine, and up close looks too uniform, but once stained and hung is barely noticeable. It looks fantastic on our two story fireplace! efireplacestore also did the 110% price match for me from an online competitor, and it was very quick and easy.

Mantel is perfect for my gas fireplace. Made a perfect addition to our den.

I love my fireplace. It was delivered very timely and was very easy to install. We got unfinished wood and varnished it. I could not be more pleased with it.

This mantel made my fireplace beautiful! Perfect addition to my home.

This is a Nice mantle. We love it!

The shipping was fast and the mantel is beautiful. The mantel I picked was unfinished but was very easy to stain.The mantel came out great and looks beautiful on my fire place.

The mantel was very easy to install on our fireplace. It looks exactly as we had hoped it would. We are very pleased. The shipping was so fast - We received it within a week of placing the order.

We are very happy with the mantels we purchased. Our fireplace has two sides and we bought 2 of the 72" mantel in distressed cherry. We love them and they look great. We used the corbels, though you do not need to use them.

Nice wood, good construction, well made, and easy to install. Stain and make it your own. Just the perfect mantle ... Let's you decorate it your way.

Arrived on schedule. Well-packaged. Looks great.

Very well made and easy to hang. Looks great over our fireplace! And Quick delivery w/ no billing problems.

The mantel fits fine and looks the same as in the photo.

I was very empresses with Mantel. It came within 4 days of ordering and was so easy to install. Exact color and size we needed. Looks beautiful..

The size is substantial and perfect for my mantel.

I researched these pretty thoroughly and ended up choosing this one. I wanted a rustic look, just not too rustic. The mantle is heavy, sturdy, mounted securely. It arrived quickly.

Very easy to install and I like the distressed look. We had trouble staining the unfinished mantle a consistent dark oak color. There are spots that came out shiny, while the majority of it had a nice matte finish. We still can't figure out why random spots were shiny. There are also odd streaks that wouldn't hold any stain, so some parts look like zebra stripes...even after 3 coats of stain. Some knots in the wood turned out orange/red color, while others absorbed the stain color perfectly. We used a good quality of stain so I have no clue why the wood was not cooperating. Thankfully, the zebra stripes and red knots are not on the front of the mantle, so one has to look on top of the mantle, or the sides, to see these staining defects. It was very easy for me to add more distressing to the wood.

The amount of distressing is perfect (not too much, not too little). The staining wasn't as easy as I'd hoped. Given that it is made of pine, it may have been better if I had used a pre-stain to help the stain be more uniform and apply smoother. The stain ended up being rather uneven in places and the wood seemed to soak it up quickly. I used 3 coats of Early American stain and a little dark walnut to make the lighter parts darker to get a more uniform color. I then covered with two coats of clear satin poly. Even though the staining took a little longer than I'd hoped and was a bit more involved than anticipated, I love the finished product. It looks like an old beam of barnwood which is what I was going for. I had it installed so can't comment on ease of installation. I am a little unsure how much weight it can handle. The mantel did come with a small chunk missing from the bottom corner. As it is on the bottom, rear corner, it's not a problem.

Better than the picture or description showed, great quality and design, easy installation.

I was hesitant to order this mantle instead of getting a real solid wood mantle custom made, but I couldn't be happier with our decision. It doesn't have that cheesey, artificially-distressed look to it. It is very well made and the stain was exactly what I wanted. If you examine it it's obviously not a reclaimed beam from some century-old farm but once it is mounted it has that same feel.

We had the builder put it up and it is beautiful. Sets on top of stacked stone. Just beautiful, looks rustic and the stone makes them bothshine , A winner recommend to anyone building a fireplace.Builder says easy to install.Looks Great a THUMBS UP!!! in my book.

Mantel was better than expected. Stained very beautifully. Excited to install. A little nervous about how much weight it can hold once installed.

Purchase of the mantle was easy to do and easy to track your purchase. It came on time. It was easy to install. And now we have a beautiful mantel on our fireplace. I would highly recommend this company for any fireplace needs. A five star company!

This mantel was just the thing I had been looking for. I had torn out magazine pictures of my dream mantel and came across this site. I kept my fingers crossed because when it arrived the box was very beat up. However the mantel was in perfect condition and it took just the two of us to put it on. Love it.

Purchased this item unfinished. Have had it finished to match surrounding wood. The distressed look is terrific - couldn't be happier

My wife and I purchased the Cherry Distressed for our new home and it is amazing. Looks like it is worth 3 times the cost. Sturdy as well. We have many decorations that sit on the top. Would definitely buy again!

First time to order, mantel was more than I expected, Love it. Thank you

So, I read many mixed reviews and several said that it was scratched and dented and not made well. I assumed that meant that they didn't see that the description said "Distressed" and figured they missed that. Wrong! I am surprised at how much I paid for this for the shoddy craftsmanship in construction. I could have made something of better quality myself. The distressed edges, like a beveled edge in places, was hastily done and many tool marks were left. The distressed look seemed a bit to intentional and not random, several parallel rows of dents. Also there was a hot pink circle on the side, that when sanded off turned white, like they used a piece of patch wood for a hole in the wood that didn't match up (see pic). The edges are not that great; they changed the direction of the grain on the ends so this makes the corners look unnatural. Also, the corbels have horribly mismatched grain so they are totally unusable (not a big factor for me as I was not going to use them anyway). I purchased the unfinished one so I'm not sure how the finished ones come in appearance. I had to sand starting at 60 grit to get rid of all of those tool marks and make the "distressed" features look more natural. I put a nice stain on it and several coats of poly and now it does look great. Interestingly enough, that spot of filler wood that was white is now pearlescent, like mother of pearl (won't take a stain). Sticks out big time, but it is kind of cool. I haven't finished my project yet, but hanging it will be straightforward enough. I will try to post more pictures when I'm done.

This mantel was exactly what we expected, due to the description. It was easy to install and looks great.

Rustic. Just what I needed for my stone. Nice finish.

I was very pleased with the speed of the shipment, the price, and the quality of this mantel.

Only problem: no screws were included for corbels and inserted inserts were so cheap as to be useless. Fixed with nuts and bolts for a much better fix.

The Shenandoah Mantle is nice and sturdy with beautiful distressing. It's exactly what we wanted for our newly renovated den. Don't hesitate ordering. It's packaged well and shipment was fast.

Good service, just what I looking for.

What a perfect choice for my decor.

I can recommend this mantel. It is very well made.

The shelf is constructed well and is visually pleasing. The corbels are decent but are not square, which is my only complaint.

The photo was deceiving. Though it is an unfinished mantel, it will require more work than necessary to achieve the same rustic look as in the photo.

This mantel has greatly exceeded all of my prior expectations.

Despite the appearance of a repair to the front of the mantel giving it a distressed look, we hope we get good results by staining it a medium to dark stain. On the plus side, its easy to install.

We recently purchased this mantle for our new home. It arrived within days and was in perfect condition. It was recently installed and it looks great - exactly the look we wanted! The wood finish is exactly what we expected and the distressing gives it an authenticity in our farmhouse style house. We couldn't be happier with our purchase!

Don't look any further for the perfect rustic mantel for your fireplace. This one is a winner! And its more attractive in person than in the photo. Plus, you will be pleased with the easy assembly and installation. We can highly recommend it!

This was the perfect mantel for my needs with great looks and easy assembly and installation.

I am thrilled to have received a product that possesses as much quality as this one does. We had no major issues during the installation process aside from a handful of minor adjustments.

This mantle was the exact rustic look I was going for above my pebble rock fire place. We decided not to use the corbels and are going to use them as mini shelves someplace else in the room. Love it!

Please provide more color options.

I am happy with the item we purchased. It was delivered fast and in good condition. It was just as we expected.

Love the mantel! Looks great on a stone fireplace... Good Quality!

This mantle was perfect for our new Stone fireplace. Installation was easy, staining it the day before was the trick.Make sure when you have a fireplace built to have a couple of wood insets for the mantle header board to attach.

This mantel was quite easy to install and matches all of our bookcases perfectly. All around, we are quite pleased with this mantel.

It is always a little scary buying a piece like this from a website, but we couldn't be happier with the mantel. The mantel is just beautiful and was just what we were looking to purchase. It arrived in a timely manner and arrived in perfect condition. The color was true to the description and installed very easily.

A great mantel to stain. Looks wonderful! Love it!

This was a disappointing purchase! The photo and descriptions were not detailed enough and so I purchased a mantel with an open back. Even though the mantel is beautiful, it will not work on my refaced fireplace as the open back is visible. Shipping this back will be a hassle!

We had been looking everywhere for a fireplace mantel and came across this one on-line. We were very happy with the size and it was delivered very quickly. I would recommend this product!

Despite its beauty, I almost threw this mantel through the roof when it was delivered. The photo was gorgeous but I was fooled. It is not a solid mantel, but only fabricated. But it does look great over my wood stove in my 100 year old house.

Aside from a bowed mounting board, I am quite happy to report that this product was everything for which I had hoped. It has greatly exceeded my expectations; in fact, it has been so good that it totally fooled my builder into thinking it was a custom designed product. From pricing to the installation process, this product has exceeded my expectations.

This mantel looks great in any home I install them in. I also fill in the hollow section on top with insulation. It would be a good idea to offer the corbels as a separate item as they arent used very often.

The Shenandoah Mantel Shelf - No. 412 put the finishing touches to our fireplace. The craftsmanship is amazing and it gave our living room a completely different look. WE LOVE IT, thank you Pearle Mantels and Elite Deals.

Nice price delivered to your door. Real wood but not solid. Boxed construction.looks great.

This item was very easy to install, and it looks terrific in our home.

Even though this mantel is quite easy to install, the directions are a bit of a challenge to interpret. We put this on our outdoor stone fireplace and put a total of three coats of spar varnish on it to make it look incredible.

This mantel has added warmth to my family room. We decided to purchase a mantel with a rustic finish and this definitely fits the bill.

This mantel possesses excellent quality at a terrific price. We love this mantel, and we can say that it is just what we wanted.

This pine mantel was not a good choice for staining because of all the wood filler and glue used in its construction. A very disappointing purchase because we ended up painting it instead.

I purchased this mantel to be used as a TV stand. It works great, looks great, and installation was easy. Its very sturdy for holding a TV or knickknacks.

My stone fireplace has finally found its mate! This perfect mantel has a gorgeous rustic look and is well constructed. Takes a stain beautifully.

This mantel is just what we needed to make our fireplace look great. The company took great care packing and shipping as if we had ordered dishware instead of a wood mantel.

Our decorator advised us to purchase this unfinished mantel, but the wood didn't take the stain properly. Also, the wood filler around the knots wouldn't stain. We tried routing the wood filler out and filling the holes with putty and that didn't work. Now we are looking for another mantel to purchase.

The reason for my purchasing this product lies in that I needed to get a good mantel for the fireplace in our family room. Even though it is a brick fireplace that is relatively plain, the addition of this mantel managed to radically transform our fireplace. Even though I have not had this installed for a long time, I am glad to say that it looks terrific!

I tend to be a pessimist in many ways, but in the case of these mantels offered by Pearl, I am a definite optimist. The design and quality that one is able to find in these shelves is simply astounding. In every single category, this mantel was precisely the item for which we were searching. Prior to purchasing this mantel, we had done a good deal of research to determine what we should buy, and even though we actually have not installed this item yet, we are totally confident that this will be the perfect addition to our home.

This item possesses excellent craftsmanship that I recommend to all of my friends.

I thought this unfinished mantel was a solid piece of wood, but its a box made from pine boards. To get a distressed look, it took a lot of elbow grease to stain it properly. My advise spend the extra money to have it stained.

Though I was in search of an inexpensive unfinished mantel, this one came with a number of tiny scratches on the front and bottom which will require some sanding to eradicate. It was packaged well so it doesnt appear to be damaged during shipping. And although its not built of a solid piece of pine, it is very well constructed.
