Setting the MoodA Beautiful Mantel Sets the Mood
The woodwork around your fireplace is the primary focal
point in fine homes, setting the decorative tone for furnish-
ings around it. Therefore, it deserves some special attention.
A richly adorned hearth will not only increase the value of you
home, but, perhaps more importantly, create a lasting charm
admired today and for generations to come.
Remember that in most homes, the fire is burning only a
small part of the time, and when it is not, the mantel takes
center stage! A fireplace mantel can be installed in either new
or existing homes to lend your fireplace greater character and
charm. Whether it’s a simple “shelf mantel” mounted above
the firebox, or a full “surround mantel” which encloses the
firebox on three sides, a quality mantel will complete your
fireplace setting.
A mantel is a major architectural part of you home. Consider
it a long term investment that should last a lifetime if
constructed with tasteful enduring design, fine materials, and
discerning eye of the skilled craftsman.

Recognizing Good ConstructionWe combine timeless intelligent design, choice
materials and dedicated craftsmanship to create a
mantel that will satisfy for generations. Our success
derives from attention to the details...from initial
design to construction, finishing, quality control
and packaging.
• Selected oaks, cherry, alder and maple. No plywood or wood by products.
• Careful moisture testing and lumber selection to eliminate warping.
• Prudent design and construction to assure tight-fitting joints while allowing for normalwood movement.
• Fine detail sanding by hand.
• Non-yellowing stains, solvents and sealers areused to avoid discoloration due to light. Theonly color change will be the natural mellowingof real wood.
• Only deep-penetrating oil stains-no sprayed-on surface colors.
• Multiple coats of moisture resistant lacquersproperly seal the wood.
• Each layer of finish is hand rubbed to a smoothsoft sheen, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood.
• Easy assembly and mounting is an integral partof each design.
• We use foam wrapping and double cartons forworry-free shipping.4

Solid Wood Advantage
5
Solid Wood is the Hallmarkof Fine Furniture
While poor-quality mantels may look acceptable
from a distance, they’re actually constructed of ply-
wood and wood by-products to save cost. Get close
to touch the surfaces and note the construction.
While veneers have a legitimate place in quality
furniture construction, low-quality plywood made
of cheap rotary-cut veneers glued to weak core
materials are likely to peel apart when exposed to
the heat of a fireplace or the moisture absorbed
from a masonry wall. Plywood and wood by-prod-
ucts may also give off toxic fumes when heated by
a fire, polluting our air, and degrading stains and
finishes. We test our lumber to maintain a maxi-
mum moisture content of 6% during milling and
assembly to eliminate future warping, much like
the finest piano makers.

The Collinswood Advantage54903_Collinswood_April2012_54903_Collinswood 4/27/12 11:25 AM Page 7
All Collinswood products are the result of human accom-
plishment aided by machine. Each employee deserves both the
credit and the responsibility for a job well done. Thus, each
mantel proudly bears the signature of the principle assembler.
Lasting quality yields the greatest bargain, and the best invest-
ment. Some of today’s mantels reflect the same enduring
quality, workmanship and tasteful design found in the mantels
of long ago. Many do not. As with all fine furniture and
home improvements, the value and investment are directly
proportional. You can trust Collinswood to provide a fair price
and an excellent value.
