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.

Be watchful with this item
Would Not RecommendI 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.
