I bought this to cover wires on my walls, I thought it would be a good product. What they say is that it covers up to 10 feet of wire, but that ten feet comes in about small 8 inch sections of cover. So you have 10 small 8inch covers, when they are mounted on the wall they have a small gap at each connection, which does not look good on a wall. Cheap product. looks ugly when installed.

First off, remove your TV from your mount, completely. Leave cables intact. I say remove the TV because you may want to get up and behind the TV, and you do need space. The pieces have plenty of room to fit cords. Lay out the ones you need, paint them, and check your wall.
In the bag of screws there is a nail. You need that to pound a hole in the wall where the screws will fit in; the screws don't bite in on their own and trying to do it without the nail results in a lot of scratches.

The manner in which the product attaches to the wall is asinine. The attachment screws have to go in at such an extreme angle that I had to predrill holes in the wall for them, and it is just sheetrock! Even with the predrilled holes, the screws did not want to start and, after checking the first one, they do much more damage to the wall than a straight in attachment would. That being said, it is an attractive system that is highly functional due to the variety of corner pieces provided. I gave it three stars because it does what it claims it will do, and I did not give it the last two stars because it required more work than other systems I have used and because it will require much more repair work when it is taken down.

This turned out great -- hid my wires and blended in seemlessly with the wall after I painted it (which is also quite easy). The only negative is that depending on the angles, it can be very difficult to impossible to insert some of the screws, especially as you get closer to another wall or to the ground. That said, the hassle was worth it.
