"I just purchased ANOTHER mantel top for my green shelf units that I originally purchased a few years ago. I was using the 2 units stacked, so I originally only bought 1 mantel top. Now I wanted the option to put my shelves side-by-side, but that would require 2 mantel tops. I was VERY PLEASED that they still had the SAME GREEN color that I originally ordered. I was very afraid they might have discontinued it, or changed the shade of green, but everything was A-OK! :)
These have been good sturdy shelves for us. We use them for books. They are EXTRA-SUPER because there is NO assembly & they can easily be transported/moved because they just fold up & go with you. VERY CONVENIENT.
I'm a 'happy camper'! :)

"I purchased both the mantel top and the matching bottom and I have been extremely satisfied with both. The assembly was amazingly simply and for the price, the shelving unit is remarkable sturdy. I would very strongly reccommend this product."

Fits perfectly, Great color
Date:September 9, 2012
"I bought 2 double high folding bookshelves to fit side by side in an office (bedroom) closet. The mantels fit nicely on top and create another shelf as well. I tapped mine in place with a rubber mallet and they went in perfectly."

Mantel Top
Date:August 16, 2012
"I bought two of these to go on top of coordinating stacked bookcases. They were the finishing touch with only a slight need for help to tap down to complete the installation. I bought the teal color which is beautiful and gives a pop of color to an otherwise generic wall."

Date:August 15, 2012
"This mantle top for the bookshelves was moderately easy to assemble. Alignment with the holes of the bookshelf was not exact and needed a bit of fanagling but eventually worked out fine."

No problems
Date:July 30, 2012
"I was a bit nervous after reading reviews that the top didn't fit or was not the same color but I had no problems. The holes lined up fine but there was one peg that was hard to push into the hole; my husband had to do it because I couldn't put enough pressure on it. Otherwise it looks great and we love it."

"What you want – a nice mantle to finish off your quality bookcase. What you’ll get – a cheap pine top that doesn’t quit match in color with holes that don’t quite line up."

Beautiful
Date:July 25, 2012
"The mantel that I received is is a beautiful color and well-made. It had four holes in the bottom to line up with a bookcase. It appears to have been designed for a bookcase different from mine. However, I was able to line up the two front holes and it seems to be seated fine. I am very happy with my purchase."

UGH!
Date:June 29, 2012
"Well, the color was true to what you see on the site. It seems easy to assemble to the bookcase, you just set it on the pegs and push til it snaps on. Mine didn't fit my bookcase though. So, they were happy to replace the top. Once I got the 2nd one, it didn't fit either. I just sent it all back. I had been trying to get the bookcase and top for 2 months and it was becoming a hassle."

A great buy.

"The bookcase and mantle top were exactly as I had hoped they would be. Fold the bookcase open, place the mantle on top and you are ready to add your books. It truly is that easy. They are very sturdy. I have one ontop of the other and just love the look and quality of the materials."

Problem solver
Date:May 23, 2012
"This "mantle" is designed to fit on top of a specific type of bookshelf, which I do not have. However it sits nicely on the back and sides of the folding bookcase I have and frees the shelf below it for additional books. (Formerly I used that shelf for a radio TV remotes etc.) Now I can use the mantle for those items. The online colors that the mantle can be ordered in are true to life; it was not a problem to match my existing shelves. It solved my problem and I am very happy with this item."

Useful
Date:May 9, 2012
"Several years ago, I purchased the bookcases onto which these mantel tops fit and decided that I now want tops for them. I was pleased to discover that the tops fit the bookcases I'd owned for several years, more or less matched, and attached easily. The tops and their matching bookcases can be disassembled and the bookcases folded, making them easy to move and to store. The mantel tops make them look more "finished" and are useful for adding more storage/landing space for a lamp and other objects."

"The mantel top arrived with a small dent and chipped paint on the front edge, so that was a bummer, but I did not want to hassle with sending it back, so am using it anyway. It was fairly easy to put on top of the shelf, although the fit is not super tight."

pretty good but the picture's deceiving
Date:April 8, 2012
"The product looks shiny or slick in the picture but is actually rather rustic looking and appears ti just have a yellow wash over it...you can see the wood grain beneath it. It's ok. Not as I expected but I didn't really want to hassle with sending it back so I kept it."
