## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Good Switch - Good Switch. Have bought many in the past, no issues at all
Review: Single switches in chrome - I'm really happy with my order. I've bought 3 single switches, a dual switch, single socket and a double socket from this seller and all have been great. The order arrived on time and packaged well. The chrome finish is excellent, no marks or scuffs etc. I have replaced standard white pieces for the chrome in a 1930s house, the chrome faces have come up slightly smaller on fitting them so I've bought finger plates to go around to hide any extra space. Function wise, they are spot on and no faults. The switches all look so much better, modern and just overall fresher in the look now. Easy to switch over to the chrome as is a standard installation. I didn't opt for usb ports so no comments on that. I recommend the seller wholeheartedly and will return for my next sets when needed.
