Did you hang it on a wall with nothing underneath to support it? It seems to heavy to hang on dry wall and the long board it comes with - is it supposed to hand on that?

Hi our fireplace guy attached a 2x4 to the vertical framing studs in the wall behind the sheetrock--he then attached the mantel to the 2x4 with the brackets that came with the mantel.--- it has not given us any issues and is very sturdy

The board that comes with it is very substantial. It is a traditional way of hanging certain heavy things but I forget the name of the process. I had a lighter mantle with a smaller board. It never fell down or became loose. Just find studs and make sure you secure the board well. In our particular case, I had it inlaid in tile-the tile completely surrounded it and went from floor to ceiling. It will never be changed. I love it. If you want a picture, I will send you one. Let me know how to contact you. But really, the one online is little different than the one I would send you.

The mantel is lightweight, and with hanging on a cleat that's about the whole length of the mantel, it's hangs pretty solid. We love ours. Ours hangs over slate tile which we surrounded our fireplace with. Good luck.

The mantel comes with a mounting cleat that you attach to the wall. Mark your studs, center the cleat, mark and drill the cleat, then attach the cleat with lag bolts into the studs. Once the cleat is secure, the mantel is slid down over the top and locks itself into place with its own weight. Update: A bit of researching and I found that most models of Pearl Mantels advertise a 100lb. weight bearing limit.

We hung our mantel on the fireplace brick. Our handyman installed anchors and then installed the mantel. The long board is the support for the mantel. The mantel hangs off the board.

you must screw the hangar board to the studs in the wall.By doing so you can hang your mantle on it and put what ever you want on it.It will support a lot of weight.

We put ours on a stud. Not sure if it would hold the weight on just drywall.

you can lean it up against the wall but it will not sit alone, I hung mine with just a dry wall hanger and its been fine, but it does come with screws for the wall

Just put a tack or nail on the wall. Or use double sided tape. Very easy to hang.

im sure you can get some of those command stick strips or maybe even drill it, but i didnt hang mine on the wall and the board doesnt come with anything to do so.

We took a picture hanger hook and nailed it to the wall then used the picture hanging wire and wrapped it around the top suction cup and hung it on the hook. Hope that makes sense!

On the top of the board (laying it landscape vs portrait), there are 2 clips. The board comes with strap so you just connect the strap to the clips. You can then hang it from a ceiling hook. I would recommend a hook that it used to support light fixtures as a simple screw in hook probably wouldn't support the weight if it was hanging from a drywall ceiling.

No, I do not believe it's heavy enough to come crashing down, although you can't just hang this straight to drywall. Hope this was helpful good luck and God bless

You would have to build a shelf. There's no provision for wall hanging built-in.

I would hang it under the loft bed using the loft bed than wall. Kind a like a hammock.

Be careful with it! Mine is in dry wall, but it's pretty heavy duty dry wall. Try to find studs in the waall if possilbe

No I did not mount it to the wall. It stands up perfectly if you push in the metal stand in the back. I've had it standing up against the wall for several months with no problem. I suppose you could add double-sided tape to the back to mount it more securely.

I have a rental and installed it in my place...I nailed it to a board that lies against the cupboard wall instead of nailing it permanently in place. I love it!

I think you would have to get different mounting hardware, or mount it on a board of door thickness and then attach the board to your wall. Ours hangs over a closet door. Sorry can't be of more help.

The board does nit come with blemishes. However it does not fit the bill. It bends and does not stay flat on a wall even when properly installed. How? I gave no clue.

This item it is not designed to be hung on the wall. If it was made of real wood I would think you could mount it using shelf brackets, but the material is compression board and i don't believe it would support any type of weight when suspended. It does however work very well on the floor. I have 3 of the cloth bins in my shelf for my sons toys. I hope this helps.

The board comes with a long strip of paper, which is labeled with where the holes need to be drilled. The holes must be big enough for anchor screws, which enable drywall to bear the weight of the board. You then screw the metal screws into the anchors, hang your board, and you're done!
