Crisp White MDF Mantel Surround, 56

A warm and welcoming crackling fire in an open fireplace is nothing short of enchanting. The dancing flames can lift your spirits and melt away the most stressful day in a matter of minutes. However, for a fireplace to truly become a part of the home, it must warm our hearts even when there is no fire in the grate. Pearl Mantels understands this concept, treating the mantel not as mere trim or molding, but as a beautiful piece of furniture that is the focal point of the entire room and the emotional core.

The Pearl Mantel represents roots, heritage, and tradition. Furniture is arranged around it, and precious treasures are displayed on it, providing balance and stability to the entire room. These fine furniture-quality mantels feature stunning details and classic designs that will enhance any decor, with clean, classic lines that will fit into any space.

Crafted from Grade A medium-density fiberboard (MDF), a composite wood commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, shelving, and decorative moldings, the Pearl Mantel ships in three pieces: two legs and one header. The legs attach easily to the header with nuts and bolts, and a mitered hanger board assembly is included for easy installation, along with a three-piece mitered scribe molding set to conceal any gaps after installation.

With a 1 1/2-inch projection off the wall, the mantel creates a nice pocket behind it to accommodate your choice of tile, stone, or marble. The interior dimensions are 56 inches wide and 42 inches high, with an overall width of 73 inches at the base and a shelf length of 78 5/8 inches and depth of 8 inches. The overall height is 57 1/4 inches, and the mantel weighs 93 pounds.

Authenticity is assured by the pearl inlay that graces the right-hand side of the shelf. The mantel is paint-grade only and comes painted white, ready for installation. Easy assembly and installation are facilitated by the included components, and a professional should be consulted before painting or staining the new mantel.

To complete the look, a three-piece scribe molding set is included, allowing you to securely hide any gaps around the opening. It is important to note that MDF is considered a combustible material, and heat clearances must be adhered to. If installing the mantel over a fireplace, it is crucial to check your local building codes and the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fireplace insert or stove.

In conclusion, the Pearl Mantel offers a harmonious blend of classic design, superior craftsmanship, and practical features, making it the perfect choice to transform any space into a warm and inviting heart of the home.
