Don't Purchase good for me

Mine came with the wood warped, and the hole spacing won't allow the screw to attach to the switch(s). Even if I could screw it on, it won't lay flat against the wall.

Pros
  • As advertised...
Cons
  • Unfinished wood is not as durable as coated or finished wood products

Just what i needed in my review

I looked at all the local stores for a stainable, 3 rocker switch plate.i worked great. Thank you revain for having what i need.when it is not availabe locally.

Pros
  • Good quality plate. Took stain well.
Cons
  • The wood is not treated for pests or other environmental factors such as UV rays, which could cause discoloration

Fit is very good good for me

You will need to do some easy sanding to finish this item and also will likely want to put a coating of stain or paint on it. Mine are well made and with a little sanding and stain they look great. One did arrive to me a little damaged but the company responded immediately with a perfect replacement so no worries trusting this company with an order.

Pros
  • Painted this to cover an outlet and blend in with a barn wood plank wall. Easy to paint, good quality.
Cons
  • The unfinished wood could be more susceptible to discoloration from exposure to sunlight

Finish is less than stellar

The routed edges are all pretty rough and kind of hard angles to sand. Otherwise it fits well in my boxes. The raw surface of the wood could trap dirt and grime, making it hard to clean and maintain!

Pros
  • Wonderful product and easy to install
Cons
  • The raw surface of the wood could trap dirt and grime, making it hard to clean and maintain

Happy With The Purchase

I used a combination stain/varnish on this and it took to it really well. When I was done and it had dried I was extremely pleased with how closely I was able to match the trim on my kitchen cabinets.

Pros
  • Looks a bit cheap, but then it was.
Cons
  • Unfinished wood could absorb moisture in damp environments

Does not fit! in my review

Do not buy this cover. I got three and with all of them the opening for the outlet was too small! I had to file out the opening to make it fit.

Pros
  • It is perfect. We put on a colored varnish, it came out exactly the right color and is beautiful.
Cons
  • Works

cannot use with LED dimmer switch

I have had this item in the past. When we had to replace our dimmer switches, we found that this wall plate does not fit on a Lutron LED dimmer switch. Ended up just painting the one that came with the dimmer.

Pros
  • Easy to stain and install.
Cons
  • The unfinished wood may not be as suitable for high-traffic areas

Perfect for staining and able to cut to size

This was just what I needed to retrofit into a wall that we had covered with cherry wood wainscoting. Not only was I able to stain it perfectly to match, but was also able to cover the existing outlet in an odd shaped corner by cutting the edge slightly with a circular saw. Good quality wood.

Pros
  • Great finish, easy painting. Also great for keeping our space safe from electrical surges. Love it.
Cons
  • Product defective. Wood had cracks all over. Returning cover.
