Abstract: We establish that any subset of $mathbb{R}^d$ of positive upper Banach density necessarily contains an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of any fixed two-dimensional rectangle provided $dgeq4$. We further present an extension of this result to configurations that are the product of two non-degenerate simplices; specifically we show that if $Delt{a}_{k_1}$ and $Delt{a}_{k_2}$ are two fixed non-degenerate simplices of $k_1+1$ and $k_2+1$ points respectively, then any subset of $mathbb{R}^d$ of positive upper Banach density with $dgeq{k}_1+k_2+6$ will necessarily contain an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of $Delt{a}_{k_1}imesDelt{a}_{k_2}$. A new direct proof of the fact that any subset of $mathbb{R}^d$ of positive upper Banach density necessarily contains an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of any fixed non-degenerate simplex of $k+1$ points provided $dgeqk+1$, a result originally due to Bourgain, is also presented.
