I have a mobile home with a stone fake fireplace The Mantel on it is turned upside down how do I turn it back around how do I fix that any answers
If someone turned it upside down, you can turn it right side up. The "mantles" are just attached with screws behind the round circle that you see that looks like a dowel. Pop that out, and you will see the screw behind.
Why can't you make a hollow shelf and slot it over the existing mantel?
Yes, you may find just under the the wall finish screws holding it on at both sides.
Instead of removing the mantle, could you cover it with gel stain, paint, or maybe even mosaic?
Hi Robin, you can remove it to paint it or to replace it with something you like/love! If not you can put any finish you like on it. You can even paint the finish be it faux stone or whatever. It would be better to help you if you posted a picture. Hope this helps you. One cleat runs horizontally under the mantel shelf, and the others run vertically inside the legs (most mantels are hollow in back). Then you screw the mantel to the cleats along the back of the mantel shelf and the sides of the legs.
