Brainerd 64409 Beaded Double Switch Wall Plate/Switch Plate/Cover, Venetian Bronze

After a kitchen facelift, we needed some finishing touches, and these Brainerd switchplates and outlet covers were just what we needed. They are very dark brown/bronze with some of the rub marks characteristic of oil-rubbed bronze finishes. I especially like the raised beading on the edges - it just adds that minor design touch that raises the item from something boring to something beyond the norm. These are a substantial weight and do not seem cheaply made. We ordered a total of probably 14 switchplates and outlet covers and all were of a consistently good quality and clean finish. One outlet was a little too close to the granite backsplash, necessitating my husband doing a little minor grinding of the bottom edge so that it would fit. The grinding did not harm the cover or expose any shiny cheap edge or anything like that. Overall we are extremely happy with these products and would recommend them without hesitation. The prices are much lower than those in home improvement or hardware stores for this weight and quality. I will mention again that the color is very deep, not very bronzish, closer to a black. This was what I wanted, but those looking for the reddish-brownish bronze should keep this in mind.

Great

As part of a mini house remodel I needed some new face plates for the light switches because the old yellowing white ones just were not going to cut it. I love the richness of the color and they look wonderful against the freshly painted walls. The husband loves them too and wants to replace the whole house with them. Great buy! They fit flush with the wall and installing them was simple.

Excellent quality switch plate cover. The design has a beaded border around the plate and if you look closely you can see the brush marks or scratches that show the lighter color through the bronze finish. They go really well with the other bronze fixtures in our home and match our decor perfectly. They add class to the home and we tried to order them for every switch on the main level. We considered switching out the switches to darker ones instead of white, but we decided we like the white more and it saved us the hassle and money. The screws are dark and match the bronze so the only white you see is the actual switch. There are a couple we just need to clean and replace but will stick with white. Overall we love these covers, they really make the house look nice.

Hey, It's an Electrical Outlet Cover. How nice will it ever look? These covers are the most elegant, heavy duty, cost effective way to enhance an outlet I've ever seen.. I bought 85.00 worth and was a little worried one of the screws would be missing per another review. I found all the covers nicely packaged with all the screws intact,. Beware, don't rip them open, cut them open with scissors at one end and carefully remove or the screws can go flying to unknown places, especially if you rip them open over a garbage can. You may find some of the screws a tad long and they bottom out when screwing them in place, back them back out, grind them to proper length and replace. If you don't have any basic skills or patience hire it done.

I really like this series of switch plates! The fit and finish is really great and I had no trouble screwing them into place to replace my existing hardware. They're a bit pricey in my opinion (about like what I've seen similar items at lowes/homedepot), but they looks great installed. One thing to note, the finish is "distressed" with scratches sort of brushed into the surface. It's not terrible looking but it is noteworthy if you're looking for something that's purely an "oil-rubbed" look.

I also purchased the Brainerd 64410 Beaded Single Duples Wall Plate / Switch Plate / Cover, so I'll leave the same review on both. 1. Product is made from brass, is heavy, looks great in the packaging and even better on my wall. 2. The finish of the product is stellar. It looks very expensive, tho, as you can see, is not. 3. I have white light switches and plug sockets. I'm not sure adding grey, pink, or black sockets/plug switches would make this look any better. In my opinion the product looks great with white. As much as I like these, I'll be buying more for the future for use around my town. The brass is easily going to last a long time, and resist oils from people's hands, or dirt. If so, it will be easy to clean.

This is a high quality switch plate. It's made of heavy, cast metal, nicely finished, with no voids, and smooth edges. This product has a finish color I would describe as a dark cappuccino color, with some distressing that looks a bit like scratch marks, which reveal a more copper color underneath. The screws are a good match. I can't say if this product is a good match for any other vendor's light or socket plates, so if you are concerned about matching this plate to other plates in the room, you might consider buying all plates from this company. It is a good (if not exactly identical) match with the dark brown switches, I used LeGrande. Made in China.
