Large EZ HideWire Cable Raceway -Length: 10FT - Color: White

This was actually a lot easier to use than I thought it would be. I did end up screwing in the back in order to make sure it wasn't coming off the wall. A note of caution however, if you seal it up and then have to open it again for any reason it likely won't stay shut for long. I would also recommend binding the cables in the raceway (depending on what they are). For example I ran a few speaker wires through and as soon as I pulled off the sticky tab to seal it up the cables stuck to it in a few places as I was closing it up, and that alone was enough to ruin how effectively it would stay closed because I had to open it up a little, pull the cable off, and then close it up again.It's great to be able to cut to whatever length you need, and looks very clean and professional once installed.Pros:Price - the price was much better than other raceways of 25 ft with corners and suchCustomization - cutting just the section length you need with simple scissors is great (no knife or saw or any other cutters necessary)Look - once installed it's very small, on a white wall you'll hardly notice it.Cons:Install - it takes time to measure and fold and set up. If you are running a long section along the ceiling by yourself it isn't sturdy enough to support itself, it will be dropping or twisting as you install. The back, while very sticky, is probably not strong enough to hold (on a horizontal install) if you have a heavy HDMI cable or something. I screwed it in the wall at various points.How it closes up - it's a simple sticky back that closes everything up and seems to work ok, but it's not intended to be opened again once it is closed. This is kind of a permanent install. I wonder if some kind of snapping interlocking plastic connections would be better? But maybe this was simply the easiest most cost-efficient way to do it.

I use this stuff for work all the time, and I purchased it here for home use. It is great for the price, and now I have become so accustomed to using it I wouldn't use any of the other permanently molded 'cut to length' varieties. With careful use this product can be just as good, and I would say, even better given the flexibility it offers in installation.If you are unfamiliar with how it works, it comes flat on a roll, scored to fold up into a closed channel or raceway with one strip of adhesive to stick it to the wall, and one to seal it closed.A couple of tricks to help make it work better:- Once you have the section cut to length, pre-fold the entire piece to the closed shape, this will make lining up the closure tape easier. You ideally want to seal this strip of adhesive just once. The more you mess with it, open and close it, the less sticky it becomes and you run the risk of the run popping open later.- I will usually remove an inch or two of the backing paper from the wall adhesive and pop a screw or nail through it to help hold that end in place while I work the rest of the length along the wall (it makes it a lot easier to get a nice straight run without having to juggle the cables, and both ends of the raceway)- If you think it out in advance you can notch the channel with good quality snips or sharp scissors so that it can go around corners and even curves without any breaks.- Be sure to prepare the wall surface properly (make sure the paint finish is sound, there is no loose dust or debris, etc) and the adhesive strip should hold well. You can always put some screws through it if you are looking for a more permanent installation.- In the same vein you should wipe down the plastic with alcohol or another quick evaporating cleaner before you close it with the sealing adhesive strip to make sure you have a good bond.Some might say because of the adhesive strips this isn't good for long term installations, but I haven't run into that problem (following the steps above). Some others might say you shouldn't be using plastic raceway for permanent installation anyways (embedded conduit or cable fishing aren't always viable), but I know that different situations call for different solutions.Hope this helps!

Easy to trim to size and has a nice clean appearance compared to having wires loosely dangling about. I appreciate that this is made from PP plastic rather than PVC. This means there are no pthalates to worry about and I feel much better about this being utilized in my kids' rooms. The adhesive to stick it to the wall worked nicely but the adhesive that binds the material to itself to enclose the wires was not nearly as strong. Started to have sections of it pull apart within minutes of completing the mounting. Had to add more 3m double sided adhesive material to specific areas to keep it closed. We will see how long it stays closed and if it holds up to kids trying to mess with it.

This stuff worked well. I was covering up the wires from our alarm system control panel, from about 4 ft off the ground, down to the floor. It did end up veering slightly to the side as it went down the wall. I would say it's best to have someone check out your path from a little distance if you're not following something specifically. A line drawn on the wall ahead of time would have been a good idea. Since you have to stick the sides together and stick them to the wall at the same time (at least that's how I did it) it's hard to keep it perfectly straight. But it looks great even with a slight bend and so much better than the wires looked.

I would suggest using a gorilla double sided tape for sticking this raceway to a wall/ceiling, especially if you have heavy wires and are hanging this from a ceiling.The adhesion that completes the rectangle for the raceway is not good and hence the 4 stars.

I put this up a little over a year ago, and it's still firmly stuck to the wall. Probably too firmly, I'll be doing some drywall patching if I ever change it.You can't take it apart after you put your wires in, so make sure you know what you want in there before you put it together. If it does pull away from the wall, a dab of No More Nails or similar should hold it in place again.
