The paint is Behrs cabinet paint in a color black called limousine leather. This project took a bland and bleak room into an entertainment room. The hardest part was lifting the middle piece straight up and down due to the low ceilings which I already held back a full heavy inch thinking that would allow for the piece to not get wedge upon standing it up, after about an hour of lifting it up and back down and turning it all around we finally got the bottom pulled out and slid everything right into place. Thank the Lord the customers were in love with it and that's all I care about. Oh yea the mantel is on 6" drawer slides so it slides open and closed, probably should've got a little video.
