Product Features
Contemporary Transitional Silhouette
The Wescott's understated top shelf and slim legs lean modern while staying transitional enough for traditional rooms. It pairs particularly well with marble surrounds and clean-lined fireplace fronts.
Slim 2-3/4" Leg Depth
The shallow leg depth helps the Wescott sit close to the wall, making it a smart choice for tight rooms, narrow hallways, and condo installations where deeper mantels would intrude on the space.
Select Series Value
Built by Hearth & Home Technologies to the same furniture-grade standards as Signature Series mantels, priced for the Select Series budget.
Paint-Ready Primed MDF
Ships in paint-grade primed MDF ready for finishing in white, off-white, or accent colors to match your room palette.
Paint-Ready Primed MDF Surface
This mantel ships in paint-grade primed MDF, ready for your choice of finish coat. The smooth primed surface accepts paint cleanly and consistently for professional results in white, off-white, charcoal, or any accent color.
