## Questions & Answers

**Q: what hardware is needed for mounting?**
A: The hardware comes with the mantel.  We also used some very strong 4 inch screws to go into wall studs to mount the mantel so it would hold heavy glass decor.

**Q: how much weight can it support?**
A: When installed properly these mantels can support up to but not exceeding 25 lbs.  Proper installation consists of connecting the mounting board to as many studs as possible with drywall screws and applying "Liquid Nail" adhesive between the mounting board and the wall.  This helps to distribute the weight.    If no studs are available use molly bolts spaced every 12" along the length of the mounting board.   Attaching the shelf to the mounting board with finishing screws or finishing nails 12"-18" and using "Liquid Nail" adhesive all along the top of the mounting boards.

**Q: Wondering what the weight limit is on this? Want to put over fireplace and have my tv sitting on thr mantel.. Wondering if it will hold my light tv.**
A: The mantel itself is strong enough.  The weight limit would depend on how the mantel is attached to the wall.  It usually comes with a long wooden slab and the idea is to first securely attach this slab to the wall and then the mantel (which is hollow) would simply slide onto and rest on it.  If I were you I would buy a couple of mounting brackets in order to hold the mantel more securely.  The brackets are available from various places as simple L-shaped brackets to more decorative types.  Then there should be no problem unless the TV tips forward for some reason but that can happen even if it is sitting on a table.

**Q: What kind of paint should be applied?**
A: I don't paint my mantel

    Quality mantel!
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018*

I love this mantel. I have a home office that I'm making more formal office-like, and I bought this mantel to put on a blank wall so I could hang an antique mirror over it.I treated the mantel with pre-stain, then stain, then three coats of poly. Then I mounted it on my wall, mounted my mirror above it, and voila!It looks great. It's well-built. It took stain very well. I've received many compliments on it already.I am 100% satisfied with this purchase.

    ... of products but this mantel shelf was not only GREAT FOR THE PRICE but it is awesome looking also
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016*

I do not usually write reviews of products but this mantel shelf was not only GREAT FOR THE PRICE but it is awesome looking also.Easy to stain and to install.  LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.  I was searching for mantel shelves for weeks and I couldn't find anything under $300 that looked nice.  I still can't believe I paid only $100 for this shelf!If you have no idea on how to securely hang a painting on the wall then do not buy this - just call someone and pay them $500 or more.For everyone else... it is great!

    ... the leg and skirt kit and am overall very pleased with the quality and looks
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016*

I bought this mantel along with the leg and skirt kit and am overall very pleased with the quality and looks. I think it is a great value for the money and would definitely buy it again. As others have noted, the packaging isn't the greatest and I had to use some wood glue on one of the legs as it was a bit wobbly from shipping. However, none of the pieces were chipped or damaged in any way so it really wasn't that big of a deal. If installing the mantel alone it should be a pretty easy task for most DIYers. You just need to buy the right type of screws based on your specific needs and attach the included 2x2 to your wall (also suggests you use liquid nails which I did). You then screw the mantel to the 2x2 and you are done. When using the leg and skirt kit it can take a lot more effort because you have additional 2x2s to mount for the legs. There is also more measurements to take into account and everything has to line up properly so that the mantel will sit on top in the grooves. As was in my case, this may require some cutting of the legs to shorten them. I also had to trim the interior edges of the legs with my table saw so they would fit flush against the tile on my fireplace and the wall since the tile is raised. I had not planned on having to do this, but it was necessary in my case due to the width of the tile. If you are doing the full kit with the legs, I would plan for a full day when you include the priming and painting. If you were just doing the mantel alone then it would probably only take 2 - 3 hours. I've attached a picture of the finished installation if you want to see how it looks. Just know that the trim piece in my picture between the top tiles and the skirt/mantel is not part of the kit. It was already in place and happened to match the legs perfectly so we left it.
