A crackling fire in an open fireplace radiates warmth and invites comfort. The mesmerizing flames can instantly lift your spirits and melt away even the most stressful day. However, for a fireplace to truly become the heart of the home, it must captivate our emotions even when the fire is not burning.

Pearl Mantels understands this concept, treating the mantel not merely as trim or molding, but as a beautiful piece of furniture that takes center stage in the room. It represents the roots, heritage, and traditions of the home, with furniture and precious treasures arranged around it, providing balance and stability to the entire space.

Pearl Mantels offers fine furniture-quality mantels, showcasing stunning details and classic designs to elevate any decor. This transitional mantel, the perfect focal point for your room, will grace your home with its timeless elegance. Crafted from Grade A medium-density fiberboard (MDF), a durable and versatile composite wood commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, and decorative moldings.

The mantel arrives in 3 pieces – 2 legs and 1 header – for easy assembly. The legs attach effortlessly to the header with nuts and bolts, and the included mitered hanger board assembly and 3-piece mitered scribe molding set make installation a breeze. The 1.5-inch projection off the wall creates a convenient pocket behind the mantel to accommodate your choice of tile, stone, or marble.

Boasting an interior width of 48 inches, an interior height of 42 inches, and an overall height of 52.75 inches, this mantel weighs a sturdy 60 pounds. Look for the signature pearl inlay on the right-hand side of the shelf as proof of its authentic Pearl Mantel origin. Painted white and ready to install, this mantel is a true canvas for your personal touch, whether you choose to leave it as-is or opt for a custom paint or stain.

Remember to consult a professional before painting or staining your new mantel, and be mindful of heat clearances if installing over a fireplace, as MDF is considered a combustible material. For a seamless finish, be sure to use the included 3-piece scribe molding set to conceal any gaps around the installation.
