### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by M***I on 29 December 2025*

Nice finish and good quality. Arrived in time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install, looks nice, quality is 'okay'
*by A***N on 5 October 2021*

They're very pretty and no complaints on the install. I've put a few of these up now, though, and sometimes some of the switches get a bit sticky and hard to press. A good solid push seems to get them back to normal, but I'm not convinced these will be super durable over the long run.
