Can this fit over an existing mantel that is 7 inches deep, 3 inches high, 68 inches long, and already anchored into a brick fireplace?
1 Answer
The shelf may not be installed in this fashion. The mantel shelf will arrive with a mounting cleat that could be placed over your shelf, but the mantel shelf could not be hung from the cleat with an existing 3" tall shelf already in place.

Sonya
from Lanham, MD asked:
March 31, 2017
Is the mantle easy to hang even on a stone wall?
1 Answer
You could create a flat, even surface by using a product like Rutland Castable Refractory Fireplace Cement - 12.5 Pound Tub. If not, you will likely need to use shims when installing it so that it will project evenly from the stone. In order to mount the wall cleat, you will need a masonry bit and a hammer drill to install anchors into the masonry. Once this is complete, you can mount the mantel as you would normally.

Yes it can. You have to drill the mounting holes with the proper drill bit, but it is easy to mount. Since stone is not even, you may want to consider sealing it.

The unfinished product does indeed look very much the same as the finished model. The finished will only have undergone some additional sanding and the application of the urethane coating.
