Comments about Pearl Mantels The Auburn Shelf 72" - 495-72:

This mantel is beautiful, we bought the unfinished to stain it to match our stair railing and front door. it looks amazing!!!! We had a couple very small areas that needed some wood putty to fill in at the base of the mantel and one area on the top that looked like the wood was bumped with something, my husband did a quick fill in before staining it and it turned out perfect. Very happy with this mantel.

I want to love this mantel...

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Auburn Shelf 72" - 495-72:

In the first week, the top has warped and come disconnected from the rest of the unit on the edges. I have been too busy with holiday stuff to contact customer service so i cannot comment on that aspect. I just expected higher quality for the price. I will probably just nail it together once we take it down for staining unless I can get a replacement easily. It is beautiful though, and simple to install.

Very pleased with this mantel. I have been without one since moving into my new home. My rock mason had placed support rods for a mantel so I was able to place a 2x4 board over those and then slide this mantel right over it.

This mantel is gorgeous! I'm not easily pleased, but this mantel caught my eye and is even better than I expected. I purchased the unfinished one even though I wanted the distressed Cherry ( which wasn't available). With very little sanding it was ready to stain. I applied 3 coats of a Minwax stain/sealer and that was it. I don't know what hardwood was used but the grain is beautiful, too. If you order this mantel you will not be disappointed.

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Auburn Shelf 72" - 495-72:

We are building a house and it looks awsome on our new stone fireplace design. The design is transitional, not too ornate, not too modern, not too rustic. It contrasts with background. Installed mantel with 2 inch spacer as to allow room for stonework to be tucked behind mantel. We could not install mantel after stonework because of the rough surface of the stonework. [...]

The Pearl Auburn Mantel Shelf is another outstanding product from this company. I also purchased their Amherst Mantel Surround. Both are beautifully detailed and finished in Distressed Cherry and make a gorgeous focal point for the rooms they are in. Couldn't ask for more. The prices from this site are unbeatable. My contractor said he couldn't build them for this price. Excellent!

Bottom Line:

Comments about Pearl Mantels The Auburn Shelf 72" - 495-72:

Your choices for pros and cons suggest this is a fireplace, not a mantel. I used it to replace a smallish hollow fake beam used as a mantel shelf on a large raised hearth brick fireplace in a very large family room. The massiveness and sophisticated style of this piece is a great addition. I also saved a bundle getting it at [...] This top has two large spots where the polyurethane bubbled up and left a cloudy, uneven area. But it is not very noticeable from eye level.
