The mantle is great for the price. ALthough it doesn't feel like real wood, it is nice looking and arrived ready to hang. I was initially thrilled. Unfortunately the wall above my fireplace is bowed in the middle slightly and this long mantel really showed the gap. The wall is certainly not the seller's issue but one that could have been fixed with a more expensive or custom piece. It's a wonderful example of "you get what you pay for". Living in an apartment made the decision to go with inexpensive much easier.
It wasn't easy to hang, taking two professionals some adjustment and extra screws to do so securely. They worked for over two hours to get it secure. The wood piece that comes with the model left it still giving way and relatively easily bumped off. It is too heavy for that to happen without some serious damage. I am glad I paid contractors to hang it. Adding weight to the shelf is limited as well, which wasn't a problem for me. Because of the issue with the wall, I decided to forgo the mantle and hang a big picture instead.
If you know your wall is perfectly level and have some contractor skills, I still think it's a great price.

It looks fantastic. It is a little worrisome that it is only hanging by a thin strip of wood though. I am always afraid I am going to put too much weight on it and its going to fall off. So far no problems though, its holding up just fine and I've got a large center speaker for my home theater on it along with several other little decorations.
