Review: "Painted my dining room and had to replace the old grate. It had been painted several times before and I wanted something nice. I found this one on Amazon. I used longer screws because the old grate had destroyed the drywall and the screws that came with the grate weren't long enough to go through the ductwork. That was easy enough to swap the screws for longer ones. I'm very happy with the wall grate." - CSpott
