Good news: you do not! In fact, our mantels have enough depth to look gorgeous even when installed against an existing wall without any fireplace opening. If you want extra depth to fit a large electric or liquid fuel firebox, you can easily make an opening in your existing wall.

All of our mantels are hand-carved from solid European marble. No lookalike products such as cast or molded stone of any kind are used on any of our mantels. We use the real deal only!

Absolutely! For custom measurements on one of our existing mantel designs, simply select Custom Size on the reservation page of the mantel of your choice and hit Reserve. For custom mantel designs, simply fill out the contact form with a brief description of the design you have in mind, and one of our design specialists will be in touch.

Placing an order starts with browsing our collections online and requesting a free quote or custom design - no deposit or payment needed. From there on, a design specialist will create a sales order for you and help you through every step of the process.

Most mantels are ready for shipping within 6 weeks. Before preparing your order for shipping, we will send you pictures for sign-off. Freight shipping transit times to the U.S. take around 35 days.

A non-refundable 50% deposit is due upon accepting a sales order and before releasing the order for production. The remaining 50% balance is due when the order is ready for shipment.

Payment may be made by ACH bank transfer, or by all major debit or credit cards.

As each of our mantels weighs hundreds of pounds, we partner with specialized freight carriers. We securely wood-crate all our mantels and deliver curb-side to your home. Due to the weight of our mantels, there are no additional delivery options available. Freight shipping transit times to any U.S. destination take around 35 days.

We securely wood-crate all our mantels and deliver curb-side to your home. As delivery is curb-side only, you should have able-bodied people and some way to move your order from the curb to your home at the time of delivery. Our mantels can be carried piece by piece, but we suggest at least 3 people be available to move each piece given the extremely heavy weight. An experienced installer should be present to help receive and handle the order upon arrival, and to complete the installation of the fireplace.

All orders should be inspected for damage at time of delivery before signing the bill of lading. Should you notice any damage upon delivery, please note it on the bill of lading, refuse shipment, and contact us immediately. We can not accept returns except in the case of defect or damage as described above. We recommend an experienced installer be present to receive and handle the order upon arrival, and to complete the installation of the fireplace.
