We have decided to go with a corner fireplace. The width of the firebox is 41". With a 12.5" leg on each side, we have a total width of 66". We are trying to angle the fireplace to create a return to the outside of the legs for a three dimensional look. But this will decrease the width of each leg from 12.5" to only about 7.5" on each side of the fireplace.

Is 7.5" an ok width for the side? Any other ideas to get a three dimensional look for a corner fireplace?

Should we go with an all stone surround or a wooden frame? How high should the mantle be? Would an angled hearth help? The ceiling is 7' 8" high.

Your advice is greatly needed and would be truly appreciated.

Thanks
