Extra depth good for dimmers
The extra three-quarter inch deep box over a standard double wide gang box depth gave me the extra room I needed to fit in two dimmer switches. Easy to install in an existing wall.

Not really for old work
Would Not RecommendI'll undoubtedly have to replace this box, because there are no clamps on the box. The tabs won't fit through an old work hole, and the two screws that hold it to the studs are inadequate for a three-gang box. The best thing I can say is that it has a high-voltage low-voltage divider, but if the box won't stay in the wall, what's the use?

great box, larger volume would be even nicer
nice box, sets well thanks to oversize face tabs. I wish they would make them in larger (volume) size. Make sure that you screw and unscrew the mounting tabs a few times before install.

Bigger is needed
The interior of 2-Gang box's used in the home construction in the 1950s was too narrow and shallow
