Looks great and easy to install

Beautiful craftsmanship and built extremely solid. Had a party recently and everyone was talking about how cool the mantel looked!

We purchased the brushed black and it turned out amazing. We are still mid remodel, but this piece turned out great and matched our ibeam, fireplace and soon to be TV as well. Thank You!
David R.
Really love it, functional and practical as well as looking great

We love our mantel! The wood screws they sent did not seem like enough to secure it to our fireplace so we used some lag bolts instead but the mantel itself looks great (personal opinion). It did arrive damaged but it was replaced, the customer service was fantastic. I recommend Exceptional Fire, the mantel is awesome and they were great to deal with.

Great quality! Great service!

I was pleased. Shelf was completed and delivered in accordance with promised delivery time frame. The color met my expectations and was easy to install.
Sean M.
Great mantle, wonderful service and fast delivery. Great solution if you need a metal mantle. Install was easy.
John C.
Really like the mantle! It is very solid and was delivered within a reasonable amount of time. The finish is excellent.
Mine is 55" and heavy. When you order a metal mantle be ready for the weight. Mine is probably 50 lbs. Not sure the screws they sent with it will work. I plan on getting some small lag bolts.
Also - the tracking info I received from Exceptional Fire lagged the actual deliver by a couple days. Not sure they are coordinated with the actual mantle manufacturer well enough.
In any case - I have no problem recommending getting a mantle from Exceptional Fire.

UNBELIEVABLE! After searching unsuccessfully for a 94” wide non-combustible fireplace mantel for 3 years, I couldn’t believe my luck when I came across Exceptional Fireplace. They offered the exact mantel I was looking for, and it is even more perfect than I imagined.
Placing the order could not have been easier. I chose the color from 3 samples put next to the tile surround, the height (3”), depth (6”), and length (94”), and placed the order. It was shipped within 3 weeks, with a little confusion that was sorted out, My son in law installed it in 30 minutes and I almost cried when it was finished.
The finish is smooth, no sharp edges, the material is solid and heavy, and the install is clever and simple.
My whole family thought I was nuts to hold out so long to find a mantel that no company was making. But I knew what I wanted and could not be more pleased.
I have a feeling there will soon be a lot of companies selling these kinds of mantels as so many people hang their tvs above a fireplace. I wouldn’t trust any company but Exceptional Fireplace, however, because I have seen the quality of their product and the cost seriously cannot be matched.
Thank you Exceptional Fireplace. My fireplace is now focal point of the main floor.

Simple design, nicely made, great online ordering process. Highly recommend!

Quality is impeccable and very top notch! Installation is Very Simple and yet it’s not explained or shown well on the website. If customers knew that after the installation of the support bracket > you simply pair the bracket to the front cover (without the need for fasteners) it would all be understood and sales would increase!

We ordered a custom length mantel to go above our fireplace. It was delivered in very secure packaging. It was easy to install ourselves and looks great!
Shelly S.
Our mantle fits our fireplace wall perfectly! We searched all over the internet to find an outdoor in the sun and weather mantle and then we found Exceptional Fire! The customer service was awesome. The color was true to samples and we ordered ours with the Bluetooth speakers and the sounds is good and they were easy to connect!!! Highly recommend!
Barbara M.
I'm very pleased by the whole experience. Loved the selection, delivery went well. Installation went well.
Charles C.
Easy for a DIY installation. The hardware is included, so just fasten the back plate to a stud and slide the mantel shelf onto the back plate. Easy-squeezie. The shelf itself is very elegant. The hardware includes a drill-bit for drilling holes through the metal back-plate. Forget it and get your own 3/16th metal drill bit. The included one would not drill through the metal!
Brian M.
We didn't order sample but the color we chose was true to what we saw on the screen. I have yet to install it but it looks like a quick installation with the 2 piece construction. Well made
Dave B.
Great product. Long lead time.
Krista C.
It looks great. Fantastic customer service. There was a small scratch upon delivery and the immediately sent a touch up kit, which worked perfectly. Solid product and company.
Charlene L.
We love it. Beautiful and easy to mount. Exactly what we were looking for!
Paul B.
We ordered three samples of the various shades of black because it was difficult to distinguish between them based on the online photos. We felt that we knew which one we wanted, but wanted to make sure by seeing the colors in person. The samples confirmed our suspicion.
Amy N.
This mantel is fantastic. It arrived in perfect condition and we installed it easily. We ordered the burnished copper and it is a charcoal color. It is stunning!!! Highly recommend.
Zeta F.
I was very happy with the quality. It went together perfectly and was extremely sturdy on the wall. It was beautiful and exactly what we needed
Ronnie M.
Then mantel looks great and the install was easier than we thought.
Bryan S.
Exactly what we were looking for. Color of actual mantel shelf matches the photos perfectly.
Easy installation. Would highly recommend if you're in the market for a non-combustible mantel shelf.
Scott L.
I started by ordering some samples before placing my order and decided on rustic black, which has a matte finish. I called the company to make sure it was a matte finish, and they agreed it would be the best decision for what I was looking for. Everything went smoothly and installation was extremely easy.
James R.
I purchased this for a new home that we are building. I wanted non combustible mantel in matt black to go along the linear fireplace we puchased.
Dennis O.
perfect non combustible mantle, modern looking, sleek!
Barbara G.
Wonderful mantel. Shipped well packaged. Easy for our contractor to install. Very happy.
Steven P.
Great solution to a big problem for ventless gas fireplaces!
Customer
Was hard to find a custom mantle that was made of metal to keep with in our clearances from the fire place , shipped and arrived perfect , installation was straight forward .
Pamela M.
The mantel is beautiful. Hanging instructions were good and no problems. It arrived well packaged and on time. Would highly recommend.
teGlenn S.
Wanted a nice mantle to accentuate our black oak marble fireplace surround. Wood didn't fit the vibe so love the metal and the color really stands out against the background. Also bonus that at Christmas we can use magnetic hooks :-) Getting lots of compliments so will be sending business your way!
Mark O.
Looks great. Easy to install. Sturdy and color matches fireplace.
Mary M.
Very glad I chose Exceptional Fire. Quality packing, user-friendly directions (with pictures--Yay!), and the mantle is perfect! I never write reviews, but this business deserves YOUR business. You won't be disappointed. Thanks, Exceptional Fire!!
Alan K.
Looks great, was easy to install. Packaging was difficult to open. The only area open was wrapped in heavy plastic wrap. Guess how you open that? With a sharp blade, upon what you will find out the front of the he mantle is under it, so big scratch all the way down the front, would suggest better packing.
Joseph C.
Just what we were looking for. Beautiful, simple,understated class. No pictures yet but installation in our new home soon.
Sarah B.
Excellent quality. Beautiful piece. Heavy durable. Would highly recommend.
