Looks great, sturdy

I ordered 3 of these beautiful ceiling registers for my living room and I am totally happy. What was in place were the standard white registers that were just boring so these beautifully patterned registers are a welcome sight to my eyes!

I have a register in the floor doorway between my bedroom and bathroom. Because of its location it gets a lot of wear. The cheaper vents wear out in a year or two because of their flimsy construction. I believe this one will last longer.

Well made, tough, looks great. What else can I say.

I have engineered hardwood floors in most of my home and finding a wood flush mounted or a nice looking metal vent cover that actually fits well and looks nice without spending a small fortune has proven to be problematic. The only vent that really shows in my kitchen area is the one in front of my island. I have a lot of copper accents in my kitchen so this was a perfect option for me. I love the design and the price was reasonable. It also seems much sturdier than other vent covers I have used in the past. Im very pleased with my purchase.

These are sturdy and aesthetically pleasing registers, one thing popped out at installation. The rotation lever sticks out and is a bad shape considering how well made they are. If you install these in high traffic area, I wouldn’t want to step on the lever (see picture attached. I’m surprised for how well made they are This detail was overlooked. Otherwise very nice and worth the extra money if you can afford it.

My wife ruined the previous cover because of the weight of her wheelchair, so, because this product appeared to be strong and flush to the floor, I bought it. But it turned out that the lever that controls the airflow sticks out quite a distance from the floor and would be fair game for wheelchair wheels, so, I had to use it elsewhere. That means Ill have to purchase another hopefully sturdy cover for the original location.

At first I got the cheaper brand (which looked exactly like the version I noticed at Big Box), but it turned out to NOT have a metal damper box. It was also not quite as deep. A telltale: on the Empire, the two sections are attached by screws, which are visible from the side and above. (See images.) I have never seen a rusted damper box, and I prefer longer lived merchandise, so I definitely wanted metal. This is a lightweight modern metal, but still ... The open/close lever can be easily adjusted with a foot. It may loosen up over time, but I turned it so accidental encounters are less likely. I would be willing to pay even more for direction-adjustable fins (not just open or closed), as would most people, I think. Maybe some ambitious new manufacturer will light this path (and while its at it, bring back shower faucets with flow control, not just temperature dials!) I would for sure buy this again, and in fact may, before these get changed/discontinued or become unavailable to the US market.

This is very attractive and looks great with our dark cherry hardwood floors. Fit was perfect

This wasnt much more expensive than the run-of-the-mill air vent covers, but is much sturdier, prettier, and comes well packaged. We have it in a bathroom ceiling air vent and it looks great!
