I just love this room! We had placed beautiful leather recliners (that didn't look at all like recliners!) about 12 feet from the fireplace/TV wall. With the angle of the chair and the tilt of the TV, the viewing was great. Also, as this TV was viewed from the kitchen, the height worked very well. The 11" deep mantle protects the screen from heat.
