The opening it frames

The firebox or fireplace this surround is cut for, per the listing. It brings no flame or heat of its own.

What it has going for it

What changes on that wall

56 in wide, per the listing. A classic size that sits well on most living-room walls. Tape the outline on the wall before you order; a mantel always looks smaller in the photos.

For a 56 × 42 in opening. A surround dresses a fireplace or a firebox you already have; outside it measures 80 × 54 in. It brings no flame or heat of its own.

Great for you if…

You already have the firebox and want the mantel look

Skip it if…

You don't have a firebox or a fireplace for it yet

Our take

The verdict

We like the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit for a 56-inch width and a surround for a 56 × 42 in opening. No buyer reviews yet, so this Modern Ember mantel surround kit has to win you over on paper. Honestly, the catch: a surround brings no flame or heat of its own, so the firebox you put in it decides the evening. We'd pick the Modern Ember if you already have the firebox and want the mantel look; otherwise, put it next to the Modern Ember Everly Mantel Surround Kit first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Flat boxes, heavy wood: plan two people and a free wall to lean the panels on while you work.

The first evening

Once the surround is up, the firebox you already own suddenly looks like a fireplace. The flame and the heat stay whatever that firebox offers.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit: check your opening, because it frames a 56 × 42 in opening, and a surround kit brings no flame of its own.

Before you buy

Your wall

56 in of mantel, per the listing. Tape the outline on the wall and check the height against any shelf, window or switch nearby. Our mantel package guide has the checklist.

Your firebox

It frames a 56 × 42 in opening. A surround kit has no fire of its own: measure the firebox or fireplace it will dress, and check the clearances its manual sets.

Assembly day

Mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit any good?

We rate it 6.8/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

What size and heater output does the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit state?

Its listing states a 56-inch width and freestanding installation. Those are the maker's figures, so tape the width on the floor and check it against your wall and your TV before you order. The listing we read gives no heater figure, so ask the seller before you count on it for warmth.

What power supply does the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit need?

The listing we read does not state its supply voltage or heater wattage. Read the supply, plug and circuit conditions on the exact listing and in the manual before you order, and never run a heater on an extension cord or a shared power strip. Anything beyond an existing standard outlet, hardwiring or 240 V included, is a job for a licensed electrician.

What do you get with the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit?

Its listing states a 56-inch width and a surround for a 56 × 42 in opening. Those are the seller's figures; how the finish looks in your light is for your eyes to judge.

What should I check before ordering the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit?

Your wall: 56 in of mantel, per the listing. Tape the outline on the wall and check the height against any shelf, window or switch nearby. Our mantel package guide has the checklist. Your firebox: it frames a 56 × 42 in opening. A surround kit has no fire of its own: measure the firebox or fireplace it will dress, and check the clearances its manual sets. Assembly day: mantels ship flat and heavy: plan two people, an afternoon, and the anti-tip hardware the manual asks for.

Where can I buy the Modern Ember Leavitt Mantel Surround Kit?
