Wooden and Stone Fireplace Mantel Shelves

shelves made of hardwoods are available in several finishes. If you are set on a fireplace mantel shelf made of wood, check with your local building rules to see if you are allowed to install wooden fireplace mantel shelves. If, however, you want a stone fireplace mantel shelf, you can choose from fireplace mantel shelves made of limestone, marble and granite. Granite fireplace mantel shelves are especially elegant and give any room an eternal feel.

Fireplace mantel shelves can be expensive depending on your choice. For instance, fireplace mantel shelves made of oak, cherry and selected hardwoods are among the most expensive in the market today. Among the stone fireplace mantel shelves, those that are made of marble, brick and granite oak command very high prices. Wooden fireplace mantel shelves can cost up to $1500 and stone fireplace mantel shelves can cost between $700 and $2000.
