A customer approached us about having a mantel made over their fireplace to protect their big screen tv from its heat. We were only too happy to oblige. This mantel is made of poplar, mounted sturdily into wall studs with steel pipes, calked into place, stained and finished to match the motif of the living room. It looks like it was meant to be there because it was. This mantel was exactly what this living room needed. It is just the right mixture of simple elegance and functionality. That’s the Krafka Kraft way.
