We ordered the country cottage beam in natural oak finish having read the reviews and looked on many other websites. We decided we liked this one the best for our living room as we had recently installed a wood burner and felt it need a mantle to complete the look. We are very pleased with it now that it has been fitted. The service was very good, it arrived promptly, well packaged and our carpenter said it was easy to fit. I am now looking forward to decorating it with christmas garland and lights. Would have no hesitation in recommending Cottage Beams and upon my recommendation my sister has just ordered one too!
