Unlike most people who buy this, I was using it to attach an output socket from a speaker cabinet with gold hardware. The product is perfect as it is exactly flat, unlike some output plates, so it does work well for this. The hole is also of sufficient diameter to accept a Neutrik panel mount jack, which was also ideal for what I wanted. The finish is polished and arrived with no defects at all, as a warning, the plate does not come with any matching screws, so this may be something you wish to order too, to prevent waiting around.
Over all the product is of a high quality for the price, and has a very nice polished gold finish. I would recommend it.
