What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its sturdy, durable plastic construction that resists flexing and deformation during installation. Most highlight how easy and quick it is to install, with built-in nails and pre-molded depth notches simplifying the process. The wire entry clips and multiple ports deliver professional-looking finishes. Many customers emphasize the excellent value compared to pricier metal alternatives, making it ideal for DIY projects and renovations. A few note undersized screw holes requiring aftermarket screws, and some mention the black color makes mounting holes harder to see. Overall, reviewers strongly recommend it for reliable, affordable performance.

Wont buy again.

Would Not Recommend

Close to impossible to drive a screw into. After fighting with them I managed to get the light fixtures attached to 3 out of 4. On the fourth one screw head broke off and the other stripped. Not sure how I'll fix it yet but will not buy these again.
