BoscoMondo Solid Wood Fireplace Mantel Shelf, Floating Mantle for Living Room, Farmhouse Rustic Wood Mantel, Easy Wall Mount with Heavy-Duty Metal Bracket (60", Intense Brown)

We love our new mantel, but the metal frame was bent on arrival, which made it hard to install straight over the fireplace. It was also VERY heavy, so this is a legit mantle and the grain was beautiful. But, since it was really heavy, it leaned away from the wall. We added extra braces under each side and it looks great. It's very sturdy and it adds a cozy element to our fireplace.

These are excellent quality, solid wood shelves and look great! I chose to go with unfinished shelves so I could stain to match our home's wood tones. The rough texture was easier to stain with a mini roller than I thought it would be.I bought the 72" shelves to cut down to 68.875" to be flush wall to wall in our pantry. This made my install more difficult. Because my studs are not centered on the wall in this pantry closet, the (4) pre-drilled holes on the back of the shelves must align with the 4 pegs on your mounting brackets. I had to cut different lengths off of each side of the shelves to ensure proper alignment. Although I was able to hit 4 studs with the existing pre-drilled holes on your brackets, having more holes to allow centering on the wall would have made cutting and mounting for this type of install much easier. I used a 2 x 4 to make a template ensure the whole placement aligned with the pegs on the mounting brackets before cutting my shelf and I am very glad I did to avoid a costly mistake.I also mounted the bottom shelf with the screw holes to secure the shelf facing downward so they were are not visible at eye level for a cleaner look. This seems to be equally as strong as the other shelf where the screws are on the top side of the shelf. This made my wife happy.

I was skeptical about purchasing this mantle. It turned out to be just what I was looking for!! It is light weight and easy to install.

This mantel/floating shelf is absolutely gorgeous. We ordered the 66" Grey color and I love how you can still see the natural and beautiful wood grain lines. The mantel doesn't come with any instructions but it was simple enough of a mounting system for my husband to figure out. Due to size and weight (it's about 30 pounds), the mounting system is not strong enough - as the mantel does "sag" off the wall a little. We thought once we screwed in the bottom screws it would help "firm" it up but it did not. We will be buying some decorative bracket pieces to add under the mantel for added support and stability. Other than that, it's a sturdy, solid piece of wood.Unfortunately, 2 of the corners did get chipped (during shipping) but it's not bad enough to merit sending back. (Unless you're looking for it, you can barely notice).Long story short, I wish the company would use better packaging during shipments (the corner of the box was literally broken off and I could see the mantel inside the box) and I wish they would figure out a better mounting system so it's more sturdy and secure.The wood, however, is absolutely gorgeous and amazing craftsmanship went into shaping this!

Loved this mantle above my electric fireplace. The hardware was inclined great for the money. Looks great in our farmhouse/ beachy cottage.

Solid wood, great color and grain. Didn’t use the supplied anchors but still came out great. After install, it does tilt a bit but it leans back not forward so I’m not too concerned.

Exactly what I wanted, looks great with my new modern fireplace surround. The price was fantastic, especially when I received a bid for $1,000 for the same piece from my decorator. Would highly recommend!

The anchors included are very flimsy. When I first mounted it, it was leaning & pulling away from the wall. I swapped out the anchors and from there it was easy to mount. I also added a coat of polyurethane because the finish was rather dull and looked a bit dirty.
