The box is fine. When installed it looks pretty good and has good ventilation. However, it takes some patience to mount in a finished wall. Because the wall was finished, I needed to remove the plastic mounting wings (you can break them off pretty easily). I also needed to carve away the drywall that covered the stud to get this box to sit flush because the lip is wider than standard 16” stud gaps. Finally, I had to drill holes in the side of the box to mount a couple lag bolts horizontally into the studs on each side. I really think this box should have come with side mounting holes but it’s easy to drill holes and the plastic is pretty stiff so there wasn’t any cracking or otherwise breakage in the process.
BE WARNED: this box does not work well with Legrand mounting accessories. Accessories such as the shelves, swinging mount plates, and others have little black mounting pins.. those pins are garbage. They way they work is you press them into a mounting hole and when doing so it presses the inside out of the back which expands to hold the accessory in place - much like a drywall anchor works. EXCEPT..pulling on the plastic mounting pin then retracts the middle and it’s no longer expanded and slides right out. Should make for easy mount/dismount but the weight of a device on any accessories mounted this way just pulls the pins out. The force of gravity on a device mounted on a vertical plane will naturally put pressure on the pins and pull them away and out of their position. I also purchased a Legrand coax splitter to mount and the stationary arm that doesn’t need one of those black mounting pins, but rather sits inside the box’s mounting holes, just falls out. None of the various Legrand box accessories I purchased could be securely mounted in this box. This box is either not made for Legrand accessories, Legrand accessories weren’t made to work with it, or Legrand just has very extremely poor mounting hardware. Either way, with some patience, I was able to zip tie all of my gear to secure it. However, that’s a semi-permanent end result so if you’re looking for flexibility in either mounting the box in a finished wall or flexibility to rearrange your gear inside the box, I would caution you to not purchase this box.
