Tools and Hardware Reviews of Wiremold C50 White Cordmate II 5-Foot Wire Channel,
Customer Review: Works as designed
Summary: 4 Stars
I used these (although purchased at BestBuy), together with the Wiremold White Cordmate Cord Channel, White #C10 smaller version, to route speaker wire for my surround system. This wider version is easier to use than the smaller version - although both have their benefits.
I did not use the connectors provided in the ket, as the ends line up pretty well without it. I did not paint them, as it matched my molding well enough.
For this wider version, you can stick it on the wall with the opening exposed, run the wires through while its open, then snap it closed easily. With the smaller version, its easier to run the wire through it before you stick it the wall, and I was never actually able to get them to snapped closed. But this didn't really cause a problem as the opening doesn't really show, and I also have them hidden behind my curtains.
I was able to get two 16 guage speaker wires into one of the smaller version, but just barely. In the wider version I put the two speaker wires, as well as another thin wire, and there is still room for at least one more wire.
All-in-all, a very easy product to use and much better than routing wires through the walls!!
Customer Review: LOVE THIS STUFF
Summary: 5 Stars
I ran my 4 separate monster xp speaker wires along where the ceiling and the wall meet. Then I put my crown moulding over it. It help keep everything together and made it easy to put up 5.25 inch moulding over it without the wires all over the place! In one direction there are 4 wires that fit nice in the channel and in the other direction I ran the CAT5e, Coaxial Cable and Phone line to the dining area. Very easy to use and cut. I also used all the corner pieces and then the three way channel to bring the wires down into a small hole in the drywall and out behind the cabinet so I didn't have to see anything and not one dryawall repair needed. Nice stuff.Customer Review: Never comes off

Depending on who you are this is either a really, really good thing or a really, really bad thing. The adhesives on these are those foam stick strips with super-strong adhesive. These are NEVER coming off once you put them on, without damaging whatever they are glued to. I'm not sure why the adhesive is so strong on these.
I accidentally misaligned one of the railways and it only touched the baseboard for a second, but it left behind glue and if it was on any longer I'm sure it would have pulled up the paint. It was on there HARD.
RENTERS BEWARE. You're losing your security deposit if you use these.
Customer Review: good product but damaged during shipping
Summary: 4 Stars
The product is as advertised. Easy to install and no need to use any hardware (srews). The tape is very sticky and works great and the product takes paint very well. Looks professional. My only gripe is that it was delivered in a long box and the box was bent in two places causing the strip itself to kink in those areas. Fortunately, I only needed about 3 feet so I had enough to do my particular job. The rest of it I had to discard. Otherwise a good product at a fair price.Customer Review: Works as advertised

These wire channels work great for hiding your wires. They are easy to mount to the wall and I was able to get two hdmi cables in them. After two coats of paint you really didn't notice them at all as they blended into the wall. The only thing I wished was that they were a little bigger so could get more cables in but just put two runs side by side and accomplished the job. These were exactly what I needed and would highly recommend them.
