What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box for solving installation challenges in tight or low-depth spaces, particularly in older homes, mobile homes, RVs, and retrofitting projects. Most highlight the shallow design as its greatest strength, noting it replaces bulky alternatives where deeper boxes won't fit. Reviewers consistently emphasize easy installation and cost-effectiveness, with many stating they would purchase again. A few note the box is too shallow for GFI receptacles or larger devices, and some mention the plastic feels slightly flimsy when supporting heavier fixtures. Overall, customers find it reliable and worthwhile for space-constrained applications.

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

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.
