Difficult to use.
Would Not RecommendThe box is sturdy, but the holes in the wings are way to tight to thread easily on the screws. I did not like this brand.

Poorly made.
Would Not RecommendMake sure you run the screws through the tabs at least once before you place the box in the wall. Tabs are made poorly and the screws don’t want to thread through the tabs.
