They are excellent for new construction/renovation. I installed 5 of these in a new development and was able to hide all my cables in all of them and have a clean opening for all the TV components. There are a few downsides though, I wish it had some sort of bass cap. Power cord, it was hard to find anything so I just put a full wall panel on it. A kind of flexible rubber or something similar for the two holes above and below would also be nice, so that it not only opens wide in the wall, but also serves its purpose. Finally, I'm not sure why one side is longer than the other, I almost got in trouble trying to install TV mounts. Overall this helps hide the cables, not a lot of room for smaller devices. Here are some photos of the boxes I installed: The last one shows how you can't see any of the cables when the TV is on top.
