Question 1

What are the INSIDE dimensions?!!! You really need to include a diagram with this offering!  You also need to include installation hardware.

Accepted Answer

Opening: 32"L x 6.5"W x 39.25"H

Question 2

Where are the installation instructions?

Accepted Answer

I don't recall if there were any. There are 2 'key-hole' holes in back to affix to screws in the wall. I recommend trying to affix to a stud. Currently I have just leaning against the wall with abut 1/4" paper under the right and left bottoms just to angle back until I can affix more permanently.

Question 3

What is the wood coated with? I need to confirm this to ensure I buy the right kind of paint.

Accepted Answer

First, let me say I adore my fireplace. It appears to be coated in a soft gesso-like white colored material. Very delicate.  When it arrived there was a little damage to the box and consequently the fireplace had a little part that was damaged.  When I tried to brush on the same color with acrylic paint the white substance just fell off like salt.  When I tried to brush some of the surface off in order to get some contrast highlights, I was hoping for just a lighter shad of the top color. But instead the white gesso-like substance was revealed, so I did not proceed.  I'd use an acrylic paint.  Oil-based, in my opinion, would 'drag' and/or 'soften' the existing faux finish. I tried to paste a photo of the area, but doesn't look like it came through.  Again, this is an amazing, beautiful addition to my home!

Question 4

How wide is the top of the mantel from front to back not side to side?

Accepted Answer

It probably varies from 6-9 inches wide on the top, woth room to place vases and sculptures. There's a slight curvature to the edges. The top overhangs the vertical elements by about 3-4", then the decorative base is a couple of inches larger than the columns. It's sturdy, standing on its own. I don't have pets or young children so I'm not worried about it tipping over, but there are reinforced keyhole mounts on the back to secure it. If I had children, I'd screw my own larger L brackets on the sides and into the wall to make it tip-proof.
