Product Features
Clean Transitional Silhouette
The Ozark's rectangular profile is intentionally restrained. It works in modern, transitional, traditional, and rustic interiors—a versatile choice when you want a mantel shelf to coordinate rather than dominate.
8" Display Depth
A generous 8-inch depth accommodates framed photos, vases, books, candles, and seasonal displays without crowding. The 5-inch shelf height adds visual weight that pairs well with stone or tile fireplace surrounds.
Three Wood Finishes Available
Choose paint-grade primed MDF for clean painted finishes, unfinished maple for staining or your own custom finish, or unfinished distressed knotty alder for rustic woodgrain character.
Custom Stain Options
Unfinished maple and knotty alder versions are available with factory pre-finished stains: Ebony, Provincial, New Gray, or Whitewash—quoted separately.
Unfinished Distressed Knotty Alder
Distressed knotty alder showcases natural knots, character marks, and authentic woodgrain. Stain it yourself or order in one of the factory pre-finished stains.
