The system is easy to work with, and with a hacksaw you can easily cut the pieces for a custom length.

With the Vantage Point WC60W I was able to fit the TV power cord, an RF coaxial cable, an HDMI cable, and a composite w/audio pair into the track with no problem. A comcast-style 5-wire component with audio cable bundle plus a power cord may not fit, I didn't try it, though.

The covers snap on securely, and the kit ships with a bunch of screws, enough drywall anchors to get 'er done, and has a foam-sticky-tape option already installed on the back, too.

Once installed, the whole deal looks really pro and is what I'd call as close to a "built-in installation" as you can get for the money.

A good value, it looks so good that you actually don't even notice it.

Pros:
Looks good, easily cuttable for customization. I'll be taking advantage of the paintable option later, but I like that.

Cons:
Realistically, with good quality cables (which tend to be slightly bigger), this will only hold three cables (and maybe a thin power cord if you can finesse it.) Example: I have no extra room in one with a composite cable, a coax cable and an HDMI cable. Also, once the cover is snapped on securely, I'm not sure it will be very easy/possible to remove it, given the design of the clips.

This wire cover is paintable and looks nice on the wall, but is very narrow and will only hold 2-3 cables. For this reason, I had to order 2 of these and install them side-by-side. I would recommend it to anyone who only needs to hide 2 or 3 cables, but if you have more than that then you might be better off saving yourself the trouble and finding a larger cover.

These covers are fantastic. They are not as wide as I had hoped, but they do a great job of hiding the cables. They are easy to paint and look good against the wall once they are. I recommend these for those with flat panel televisions that wish to hide the audio/video cables.

I picked this up after running a high wall outlet for my flatscreen TV, only to realize that all of the items below it (Cable box, video game systems, etc) would still need cables hanging down. Install is very quick - it only took 4 screws and about 5 minutes. I used the adhesive backing to get the tray on the wall, ran in about 6-7 cables and then 4 sheetrock screws later I was done.

The only thing I'd change about it would be to have the actual cover snap onto the tray instead of requiring the Y-looking spread ends to hold the cover in place. If that was the case, it would be completely drill-free and perfect. It's a small gripe though, because the covers look great and very professional, and the end result is nice and tidy. One kit is enough for at least 2 TV sets, possibly 3 depending on the size of the gap between your set and what's below it.

Very good product. As other reviews have stated, this product has limited space for wires. There is room for three wires and perhaps four if the forth one is thin. Installation is very easy and there is enough length for many applications. Once installed the product looks very neat. Excellant application if you don't want to go to the trouble of running the wires behind the wall.

works well, sticks to wall good, easy to paint, great size that can fit all your wires, easy to snap off and on for easy instilation of future wires, when painted not as visable as you would think, easy to install, highly recommended

We hate ugly cords and wires running up our walls for things like wall mounted phones and other items, but - like most people - we're not gonna bust into our walls just to hide them. These are great - mount them on the wall over the cord or wire, then paint to match your wall color.

Do they COMPLETELY hide the fact that you've got a cord/wire running up your wall? Of course not. There's no way it could. But the fact that it's paintable DOES help to make it far less obvious, which is about as good as you're gonna get (unless of course you DO cut into your walls...but who wants to do that when this solution is easier, cheaper, and works just fine as it is?)

I ordered this item in order to hide a power and cable cord for a wall-mounted TV in my bedroom. It is perfect for this use. However, if you have audio cords, DVD cords, or more than maybe 3 cords that you want to fit in this, beware. It is not very large. For my use, the size is perfect and it does not look too bulky on my wall.

I used the stickers on the back and it was easy to mount. I also painted it to match my wall color and that does a nice job of making it less noticable.

Overall, a great purchase. Ideally I would like to move the cable and power jacks so that they are hidden behind the TV, but since I'm not an electrician, this is the next best thing!

This wire cover looks good but, way over priced. I returned mine and just put the wires in the wall, cost < $5.00.
