Easy to install
I am quite impressed with these strips. They were easy to install, and you could easily put 2-3 wires in each strip. What a difference in the before/after. They look so clean and organized. they are sturdy and functional and the adhesive is strong and attaches without issues. Some of mine were in a vertical position and they worked great I highly recommend this product.

Special Installation Tips for the Strong Adhesive
This is a good product...good size, fits a bunch of cords if you need it to, and I like the way the covers snap on rather than needing to slide on from the sides.I have one big installation tip. The adhesive is SUPER STRONG and is really hard to remove the channel from the wall once you stick it. Be careful, measure and level and draw a line on the wall before you remove the cover for the adhesive. Now my little trick- TAKE AN XACTO KNIFE or razor blade and cut through the adhesive and its cover. Cut about 2 inches in from both ends, and then make a couple cuts about 2 inches apart right in the center. Those 3 two inch sections will be what you want to retain, and you want to get rid of the other adhesive. I tried just removing the liner from those little sections and sticking it up on the wall but it was a little challenging to get it to stick. It might have worked if I pushed harder to get those sections to stick. What I ended up doing is taking my thumb and rolling and peeling off the whole adhesive in those larger areas except for my 2 inch sections. It is almost like a rubbery gummy adhesive and you can just push it and roll it off the plastic with a little effort. With just the little sections of adhesive it still sticks the channel down very securely but when it comes time to take it off, it will be easier and won't rip up the whole wall.Secondly, I found that when putting 2 straight pieces against each other, it looks better to just butt them up against each other rather than using one of the connector covers. The connector covers are wider so you see a bulge at each connection that really isn't necessary. In this same vein I tried to do a 45 degree miter cut on 2 pieces of channel with my hacksaw so I could butt the corners together without the extra covers. I didn't get it perfect so there was a little gap showing and I decided to just pop on one of the 90 degree elbow covers and be done with it, but I think if you got the cuts right it would look cleaner to miter the channel cut rather than use the covers.

Solution to ugly extension cords!
Pros:- Clear instructions and proper tools included. Installation is pretty straightforward but it's nice to have tips from the manufacturer and everything you need to complete the project in the box.- Organized and tidy looking and options for any right-angle corner. Doesn't flex around bullnose corners, but that wasn't an issue for my home.- Paintable! On its own, the color of the track is fine, but the ability to paint it the color of the wall is fantastic! That can't easily/safely be done to extension cords.- Cost is very reasonable.- Quality seems good. None of the parts broke during installation. I can't speak to longevity because I've only had this for short time, but since it's a stationary application, I don't foresee any issues.Cons:- Slight plastic odor that dissipates quickly. I have a sensitive nose and noticed it when I opened the box. I don't smell it in the room after installation.- 17 inch span maximum between couplings. I wish I could get a 9 foot length of raceway channel -- one that doesn't require coupling brackets every foot and a half. Probably not an issue in most applications, but I've got a long span from my lower level family room to the front door entryway to cover that runs vertically up the wall.Rationale:Having a "smart home" is great until you realize that every single component needs to be plugged into a power outlet, of which there are never enough and never in the right place. I've spent a fortune on extension cords recently -- rotating plugs, proper length, proper color + mounting along trim -- and they still look unsightly. Grrr! I would have saved myself so much time and money if I had known about this cable concealer a year ago.

Does what it is expected to do
I bought this product to neatly route two CAT6A ethernet cables and one LC fiber within a network room. It was easy to use and did what it was advertised to do. In my case the routing was over plywood, and I had some concern if the adhesive would stick well enough. The instructions say to press down the strips and ideally allow 24 hours for the adhesive to grab before routing cables. I did that, and the adhesion was terrific. The kit comes with joint pieces to go over the splice along straight runs, and right angles, and there is one for a T junction. Note that these pieces snap _over_ the cover sections that close the channel after laying in the cables.I noted that the channels were a little tight for two cat6a cables, requiring a fairly tight bend. The cables didn't want to make the turns, but it worked OK to hold them down until the covers were snapped on.The channels are thing and very flexible plastic. They worked great for my application but would not be adequate if the cables are strained. Sunlight exposure or high temperatures would call for a different solution. I deducted one star due to the relatively high price for what is being sold.

Good Product
As you can see in before and after photo. I was able to hide ugly TV cables. Now everything looks nice and neat. Product was also very easy to use.
