What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box as the ideal solution for tight, low-depth spaces in remodels, old-work installations, kitchen islands, pocket doors, mobile homes, and RVs where standard boxes won't fit. Reviewers consistently highlight its perfect fit in sheet rock over 1x2 framing and behind cabinetry, calling installation straightforward and intuitive. The sturdy metal construction with secure tabs inspires confidence, and many appreciate the affordability and durability compared to lighter alternatives. A few note wire clearance challenges with 12-gauge cables, though these concerns remain minor. Overall, customers consider it a dependable, cost-effective solution that delivers exactly as promised.

Regular outlet depth

Just deep enough for a standard outlet or switch. Not dimmers or gfci outlets.

Be watchful with this item

Would Not Recommend

I did not like it. I did not use this as I needed to be fairly specific with measurements and leave enough wall for the tabs on top and bottom.
