Pearl Mantels 412-60-20 The Shenandoah 60-Inch Shelf/Mantel Shelf Espresso Rustic Distressed Finish

My fireplace is so bare. I've been looking for about a year & just didn't really know what to get or how to attach it to brick. I tried to find someone else to do it but couldn't. Then I found Pearl Mantels. I probably would've gotten a longer one & a slightly darker color but the price was just too good on this size & color that I couldn't pass it up. I was so excited the day it arrived. Within about 2 hours I had it up. I am a 43 yo mom of 3. I can do a lot but even this surprised me. My husband isn't a handy man but was gone for work so he wasn't there to help. I hung it right by myself. Seriously it couldn't have been easier. You need to measure twice & drill once has they say but I really feel like anyone can do it.

This is an excellent product - for the price. There’s always a compromise. The mounting board doesn’t come with hardware - I understand that where you drill holes will vary depending on your situation, but no hardware? That’s just silly. I was able to get it mounted quickly and relatively easily, but the mounting board split on the first screw. Yes, I pre-drilled the holes, but being an amateur I screwed a little too tight and it split. I was able to work with it, but do be cognizant of this. Otherwise this is a beautiful and well-made product and I’m thrilled with the 3-day makeover of my fireplace!

I ordered this product with plenty of lead time, as it’s large and bulky and does not ship prime. It arrived fine. When we installed there were many problems. We chose the no-Corbel option. The clear that was shipped with it was warped and completely unstable. The mantle actually fell off and hit me in the head as we were trying to secure it. When using a carpenter to install it with a safer system, the wood cracked (pilot holes and all) and split. Very disappointing quality and no response when i emailed the seller.

Incredible product. I'm a trade carpenter and I was gonna build one my self. Took my wife's suggestion to just buy it finished in antique cherry.So glad I listened to her. Fit and finish are perfect, corbels well designed and built with excellent hardware, delivery was within days and expertly packed to protect the mantle and the finish. Yes the distressing is machined, but who cares? I pre hung my mantle ledger prior to cultured stone. In doing so I could not (and didn't want to) use the enclosed hanging strip and miter board attached. I removed said miterstrip and counter bored new holes, and screwed down from the top for a very secure anchor. I HIGHLY recommend pre mounting the mantle if you are installing stone. I don't see how this or any mantle can be attached to face of uneven stone. My install came out beautiful and I can not say enough about the product and the customer support I received when I called (and actually got a person on phone) and were very helpful with my query about removing the assembled miter strip, and deleting the hanging strip.kudos to a top notch company and product. My wife did not like the pearl inlay, so furniture crayon covered it. Please note:I've tried three times to attach photo, had to write this review three times. I lose my text and can't get it back

This mantel made a HUGE difference in our fireplace facelift! After some research, it looked like to have a professional build and install a mantel of the same style would be around $2k. More than we wanted to spend. This mantel made a great alternative that we could install ourselves. Yes, it looks production-line produced. I do wish they would just leave off the "distressing", as it only shows up in one or two places and looks like scratches. The little "inlayed authentic pearl" is also silly, its just a white circle (not a pearl), and looks like a flaw on the dark espresso wood. BUT all that said, we are still happy with this purchase. We have very uneven, large stones and were still able to install it with a normal hand held drill and concrete drill bit. Then we needed to chisel away at some of the protruding stones so the mantel would sit flush. Took a couple hours, but we did it! Love it.

I bought this for our fireplace. We were remodeling an old, outdated fireplace and mantel. I bought the unfinished version so I could stain it exactly to the color I wanted. It came quickly and in great shape. The mantel came ready to stain with a very smooth finish. I hit it once with 220 grit just to be sure. It took the stain perfectly. I topped it with finishing wax (3 coats) and it looks stellar! Hanging it took 10 minutes (mostly drilling holes and attaching the hanging strip.) I'm very impressed with this mantel and would recommend it to anyone. Don't be afraid to buy it unfinished and stain it yourself. I saved about $50 doing it myself and it took only a few hours to stain and wax.

I had this mounted to ledger tile similar to the one pictured. It was added after the tile was installed as we weren't sure which mantel to get. The unevenness of the ledger made the mounting method inadequate. It was loose and kept tilting forward because it wouldn't engage the angled edge enough. I had a 4 x 4 piece of wood cut down to the size of the cavity and used it as the mounting block instead of the one provided. I then drilled and screwed down from the top of the mantle into the wood mount and solved the problem. Looks good but had to modify to get it to work on ledger tile.

Damaged product! Twice! The first order arrived with clusters of tiny holes, very noticeable. We exchanged the mantel for the same type. Second product received with the same clusters of tiny holes. AND, this time the color was more brown than gray. It is not easy to return this large piece to the UPS store, twice! We will never order from this group again. Horrible experience. See the photos!

Just in time for the holidays. Matches my floors perfectly. Super easy to install. All the pre-drilled holes lined up exactly. Light enough for one person to lift but strong enough to last. I like that the corbels can be removed if I change my mind. Too bad that the ‘distressed’ marks are machined identically but not a game changer. Excellent value for the price

At first I was taken back it was way more rustic than I thought. There was “V” marks indented in the wood as well as router gauges on the edge. I didn’t want to wait for another (as it’s xmas time) so I stained it and it looks pretty good. FYI Wayfair had the exact same mantle on for $200 less and amazon does not do price matching :(

Great product. Easy to assemble. Instructions were clear and concise. The stain went on easily. You have to buy mounting hardware separately, but was easily accomplished using some items I got at Home Depot. The mantel looks great and is very solid.

Loved the look of the mantle except the orange tone in the stain. I ended up sanding it and restraining it and it turned out awesome! Would highly recommend if you’re willing to play around with sanding/staining it!

This mantel replaced the one that was on our 70s brick fireplace as you can see in the images. Now with the new stone put on this fireplace the rustic cherry just stands out better than the old one.Beautiful mantel and easy to put on.
