What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box for solving tight-space installation challenges in RVs, mobile homes, and retrofit applications where standard boxes won't fit. Reviewers consistently highlight the perfect fit in constrained environments like thin drywall, behind TVs, and kitchen islands, with many calling it the only solution that works. Installation is described as straightforward and reliable, with the box holding receptacles securely and functioning dependably for outlets, switches, and specialized applications. Customers commend the affordable price combined with sturdy, durable construction, with many planning to repurchase. A few note limitations with GFI receptacles or heavier fixtures, but these minor trade-offs are widely accepted for the product's primary benefit of extreme compactness.

Better than the metal electrical boxes
I prefer these PVC electrical boxes over the metal ones because they do not conduct electricity and you are less likely to have a short if some wires come lose and touch the box. They are also cheaper and lighter. There is no downside to them. Also, Lowes had the best price.
