Creative Co-Op Lodge Fireplace Mantel, Distressed Cream

I had reservations about ordering this mantle because of some reviews. I’m so glad I decided to buy it! Came well packaged. No issues with it. It’s not solid wood. It’s hollow which makes it lighter. I think that’s a plus. Easy to put together and install. I really do love it! Installed brick look panel with it. Other mantles were 1,200 or more dollars. This was a great value.

This fireplace mantle appears to be very well-made and good quality. We had been looking for something to go around our electric fireplace in our bedroom without it being too overpowering for the size of the space. This mantle was exactly what we were looking for. It arrives boxed and assembly is required, though this was very straightforward and simple. The top basically attaches to the sides with the included hardware. We have to make a few adjustments to our set up before we can install but I just love the coziness and finished look that this will add to the fireplace area.

First problem was it arrived looking like it fell off the UPS truck. Package was torn and hardware loose in the box and missing a few parts but easy to replace. There are a few spots where the paint is chipped but not super noticeable. Overall it’s looks nice and sturdy. Using it to frame our existing electric fireplace and I think it will look great. Looks easy to install and not too heavy. Value for money is okay.

I used this to go around an in-wall electric fireplace in my bedroom. It looks great, and with a bit of work, it almost looks like a real fireplace.It was easy to assemble and mount on the wall, but take some time to get the bracket mounted right the first time.I’m super happy with how this project came out.

I was so excited for this to come in today but so disappointed at how damaged it was upon arrival. Will be sending back.

Take your time, measure twice, I was able to install this by myself, though I recommend having someone assist.

I unpacked this wood mantle from the box which it was well packaged. The screw and hardware kit that came with it was loose and all the pieces were rolling around inside the top mantle piece. once I dug out al the hardware I could find (I was missing two washers) I read the instructions for it which were so very basic but kind of left out one major detail. There is a wooden trim piece that must be attached to the wall to "hang" the mantle on. This one detail was left out, but instructions just say to mount trim on the wall so it took me awhile to figure out exactly how/why I needed to do this. Once I realized the trim has an angled edge which must be mounted upward and with the angle pointing away from the wall. The backside of the top mantle piece has the matching angled section on the inside top of it which will need to be placed perfectly in height in order to hold the mantle on the wall and yet not to keep the legs of it off the floor. So after some careful measuring and trail and error I finally attached it correctly to the wall. I would have liked to see the quality of it be a little better, but for the price it's ok. I'm satisfied with my purchase though.

This mantle was very easy to install. I do like the look of it and think it looks very nice in my living room. The quality is good, but not great. Overall, it’s a nice upgrade and makes my living room look a little classier.
