I upgraded my 20 year old 12x12 with this.Installation wasn’t too bad.The problem is there’s basically no instructions, at least nothing useful, but so many bags of random screws and other parts.I wasn’t able to use the rack thing or screws because there was just a few fasteners but no instructions.It also wasn’t compatible with most outlet boxes I tried. Eventually I found one that worked but the screw holes didn’t quite line up.There’s also a huge piece of thermal tape covering all the knockouts on the top or bottom that I wasn’t able to take off. Very odd.I like the vent holes, it would be great if they were more elsewhere instead of the front panel because I was hoping the front door would hide the contents & the lights from the components inside.

Perfect for my Samsung One connect on my S95C. Enough room for small surge protector, HDMI, cable adapter, and power cords from cable, TV and soundbar. Just situated them in there then wound them up and strapped them.

This in-wall organizer was exactly what we needed. It housed the box for the 65" Samsung Frame TV perfectly and it then fit between two wall studs nice and snug. It allowed us to add the outlet within the box to connect power as well.

I have installed this exact model recess box for multiple clients. The included template makes it easy to install. It provides ample space as you can see in my attached photo, there is a massive samsung one box, cable box and an abundance of cables able to be stored and still mount a tv flush to the wall with only 1/8” gap between wall and the tv.

I have installed two with Samsung The Frame TVs, and they are a great choice to store the OneBox, plus additional devices, and hide all the cables.The mounting bracket is great for cable management, and fit the Apple TV on top.Most importantly, it fits perfectly in between studs. Used this one on a new fireplace rough in (see pic), and a second one as a retrofit on existing drywall on top of a fireplace. Both fit like a glove and were easy to mount.It comes prepared to mount an electric outlet, and to connect conduit for extending cables. Make sure you have the outlet kit ready.

This was simple and effective to use for my frame TV. It was easy to install and the material was quality material.

Purchased this as an Amazon used acceptable and aside from box being a little beat everything inside was brand new and in original packaging. I saved about $70.

I’ve installed several of legrand’s in-wall enclosures and I have been very satisfied with the experience. These are a great option for DIY without having to call an electrician or violating code, as with the optional accessory kit you can route power to one or more outlets safely.The accessories don’t stop there, though, and they’re mostly readily available through here. Previously, I was using a competitor’s structured wiring enclosures, which worked great, but it was incredibly difficult to find many of their accessories, and often I was stuck buying from online auction sites and shady low voltage specialty shops that didn’t ship parts of my orders on more than one occasion.My main criticism of these units is that the covers have very large pass through openings, and no accessory to fill them, which can be unsightly if you don’t plan to utilize a TV mount or other cover.

I'm building a new house and wanted to recess AV boxes behind the TVs for things like an outlet strip and small set-top boxes like Roku or AppleTV, etc. This box from Legrand (also sold under the Sanus brand - model SA-IWB17-W1) seemed to be a decent option. However, it may take a bit of DIY modifications to align an electrical box with the pre-drilled screw holes in the plastic and to make it a bit more secure when mounted to studs behind the drywall.First some dimensions for those that need precise measurements. The outside box measurements are 14 3/8" wide by 17" tall. The inside dimensions are 14 3/16" x 16 3/8" x 3 1/2" deep. However, there is a bit of play in the walls. The center area of the walls probably could flex out about 1/4" without issue.The box is secured to studs in most applications. The box has 2 sets of plastic 'ears' on each side with a pre-drilled slot for drywall screws to go into the stud (see image). The problem is that in some cases you will only be able to secure one side of this box to studs that are 16" on-center (because it is 14 3/8" wide) since it is not uncommon for spacing of studs to not be so precise. It has some "old-work" screw down clamps to secure against drywall but I wouldn't rely exclusively on them. This will need to be secured to at least one stud. You may need to use some shims on one side depending on the placement of your studs like I did. Then it could be well secured on both sides of the box to studs.The other problem is finding a standard electrical box that fits the pre-drilled holes. Unless you want to pay over $30 for the Legrand solution (model 36456902V1), you may have to adjust the wings on your electrical box to make it long enough to align to the predrilled holes for electrical boxes. I just wanted to install a typical household 15amp outlet and put a quality surge strip in the recessed AV box. I went to the big box hardware store (blue one) and picked up a RACO 1-Gang Gray Metal New Work/Old Work Deep Electrical Box Model #8590. That matched up closest with the pre-drilled hole pattern. However, I still needed to modify the electrical box slightly. The problem isn't a left/right issue to align the holes that could be solved by just drilling a different hole in the plastic. The problem is that the ear holes on electrical boxes aren't long enough and the screws wouldn't even hit the plastic frame after you cut the electrical box knock-out.The metal electrical box has ears that attach with screws (see image). If you use standard #8 washers to gap the ears a bit more on both sides, the holes line up perfectly. While you are out, pick up some #6 self-tapping 1/2" pan screws to secure the electrical box to the frame in those pre-drilled holes you just aligned. Also, you may also want to pick up the 2" Legrand grommets (Model #AC1034) for the knockout holes for low voltage wiring; especially if you are recessing this against an exterior wall. These are also available at the blue big box store website.One last note about this box: in the attached images, I placed the electrical box on the bottom of the Legrand box to show the hole alignment. When you install the electrical box, you will drop it in from the inside of the box. I just did this to show the hole alignment best in a picture.If you are looking specifically for a metal recessed AV box or just need something more substantial for whatever reason (mounting above a fireplace, minimum depth clearances, housing something heavy, etc.), you may want to check out the FSR PWB (Project Wall Boxes) line of products like the PWB 320 and PWB 323. I'm putting in a linear fireplace with a TV above it. I am using vent kit that allows for mounting a TV right above it but the depth of the recessed box can be no more than 3". This Legrand box is 3.5". I picked up the metal PWB-323-ESK and it is way more substantial and versatile than the Legrand box...but it's also twice the price.
