This is a great wall plate and feels quite sturdy. It comes in two pieces -- an inner plate with all of the terminals and then the outer plate that looks like your standard wall plate. The only thing that confused me was that it included two sets of screws (one set of small screws and one set of long screws). It took me a few minutes to figure out, as there are no directions included. You use the long screws to attach the inner plate to your 2-gang box, then the small screws attach the outer plate to the inner plate.

Like stated in many of the other reviews, getting the speaker wire configured on the back side is a bit of a hassle, but manageable. I chose to deal with this complexity by removing all of the connections (which is easy enough to do) and starting at the bottom and working your my way up. This allowed for ample space to allow my not too skinny fingers to tighten the connections with little to no interference from the other connectors.

However once the back is configured you then have to deal with the front. Again, I managed to get the wire into the holes and tighten the connections adequately.

A week later I sought to make the connections cleaner and easier to disconnect/reconnect so I bought some Belkins Banana Plugs (AV54004). I highly recommend buying as many as you need for all your connections at the same time you order this wall plate. You will not regret either purchase.Belkin PureAV AV54004 Do-It-Yourself Gold Banana Plugs, 4-Pack

Overall this is a good product, however, I found it very difficult to tighten some of the screws because the binding posts are so close together. It seems like the the manufacturer could have aligned the screw holes to make this easier. I finally got it done using an eyeglass screw driver, but it wasn't easy.
