Suitable for flat walls but too long and tall

I have used two different power bridge kits . This one is great because it works for flat walls in log homes, but it has a few downsides. First, it's huge.

Looks good but installation is a lot harder than I expected. As previously mentioned, the non-brushed opening allows for better air ingress from any outside wall for all non-power cords. Mine goes through the semi-insulated wall of the fireplace insert box and needs foam insulation, but for that I have to cut an access hole and then

Pros
  • Includes (2) TVL508 boxes and all the hardware needed to quickly mount a TV flush to the wall
Cons
  • Not trendy
