Comments about Pearl Mantels The Shenandoah Shelf - 72'' - 412:

We bought the "mantel" to be used as a bar in our pool room to sit drinks and snacks on. It is a good length (6') and width (9") so it give adequate space but did not take up very much of the room. The construction makes it light weight and it was easy to stain and install. The corbels were necessary to install under the shelf to keep it from tipping off the installation ledge. Would definitely recommend and it was a great value compared to other alternatives we looked at.

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Shenandoah Shelf - 72'' - 412:

We recently purchased this mantle shelf as a Christmas gift for our daughter.

The mantle shelf itself is well constructed and very nice. We had it installed by a friend in the trade and it took him approximately two and a half hours (part of the difficulty had only to do with the brick and mortar of our specific fireplace). Following the installation, framed portraits of her children, that had previously not been able to be displayed, were installed over this mantle shelf.
This mantle transformed her main living area from ordinary to beautiful and inviting.

This is a great mantle/shelf. I mounted it above my fireplace, into a brick hearth, using lag bolts. It installs easily and looks terrific. It is well made and the depth is nice and wide. It's perfect for a clock, pictures, or other mementos. I have already recommended it to a friend.

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Shenandoah Shelf - 72'' - 412:

Doesn't have the quality that the picture portrays. I'm aware the shelf in the picture is stained, but the attempt to make the product look rustic and used did not happen. We will need to do a lot of work to get it to look that way. It will also be hard to stain b/c of the wood it is made from. Overall it's just not a high standard product. It's something you could make yourself by nailing a few boards together. Very disappointed.

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Shenandoah Shelf - 72'' - 412:

The website picture of this shelf led me to believe it was made of a solid piece of wood. However it's actually hollow and constructed of several boards, which becomes even more noticable when the shelf is stained. If you are looking for a solid beam for your mantle, this is not it. That being said, it still looks great and is a breeze to install.

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Shenandoah Shelf - 72'' - 412:

The instructions were very difficult to read.
The scale of the mantel was perfect for our hearth - which is a wall of brick. It was something we were planning to redo, but now with it installed, it looks great!

Service & Delivery comments:

Arrived about a week after scheduled delivery, but it didn't cause any problems for us.

This is a beautiful rustic mantle. Perfect for our stone fireplace. We got it unfinished and stained it ourselves. It was simple and really turned out beautiful. A fantastic price compared to others. Easy to mount (my husband did it) [...] Very happy. I will order another for our bedroom.
