Tried a $6 raceway kit vs. stuffing wires behind baseboard trim, and the raceway won by a mile
I had a TV stand in my living room with a power strip, a roku, and a router all jammed behind it, and for 8 months I just shoved the wires behind the baseboard trim. It looked fine until someone actually looked down, then you saw this bulge of cables popping the trim off the wall in two spots. I grabbed a $6 stick on raceway kit from the hardware store and ran everything through it in about 20 minutes, and it sits flush against the wall like it was always there. The trim trick was free but I had to fix the baseboard twice, so the cheap plastic channel was way less hassle. Has anyone used the screw in kind instead of the adhesive? I'm curious if it holds better on textured walls.
