What customers say
The Sanus Recessed Component Box garners overwhelmingly positive sentiment, primarily lauded as the definitive solution for achieving a professional, clean, and flush aesthetic for wall-mounted displays. Customers frequently highlight its effectiveness in completely hiding power outlets and low-voltage cables (like HDMI and Ethernet), transforming a cluttered area into a minimalist setup. The integrated power solution is a major selling point, simplifying the process of bringing power behind the TV without needing complex electrical work, though users appreciate the flexibility of the included knockout plates for custom wiring. Reviewers consistently praise the sturdy build quality and the thoughtful design elements, such as the ample space provided for cable routing, which accommodates multiple thick cables necessary for modern home theaters. However, the sentiment is not without nuance. A recurring point of friction involves the installation process, specifically the depth of the box. Users caution that careful planning is essential, as the box can sometimes interfere with existing in-wall structures or require precise cutting around studs. Furthermore, while the box offers good space, fitting very large, stiff power plugs or bulky component connectors can be challenging once the cover plate is applied, leading some users to wish for slightly more internal depth. Despite these minor installation hurdles, the consensus is that the final result—a perfectly flush TV mount with zero visible wires—makes the investment and effort entirely worthwhile, positioning this product as a premium, high-utility component for serious home installers.
