Wrong size listed on line
Would RecommendThe on-line specifications for this box list it as 3.5 inches; but, it is actually a 4 inch box. Other than that it is a quality box.
I needed a jb to hang a paddle fan which was a gift to my wife and I and was also purchased at Lowe's by our children for an anniversary gift. It worked perfectly.

octal box
Would RecommendI had picked it up to check for the cover fitting. Held in my hand carrying the other parts, paid for it and took home where where I discovered my mistake. It is perfect, shiny and looks just like the one on the joist with the transformer on it. Returned it the next day, even though is was also perfect for the job.
