Review on 2-Pack 16In Under Desk Cable Management Tray - Metal Wire Mesh Holder For Desks, Offices & Kitchens (White) by Eduardo Long

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do not believe the dimensions

For what it does, this thing works all right. It took about two minutes to install and that was that. It is pretty flimsy, but I do not think it'll have a problem with my cords and a power brick or three. I had chosen this one because it claimed to have a 5-inch wide usable space, which would just barely fit my Belkin surge protector. Unfortunately, it does not, it's maybe 4.5-inch and my surge protector has no chance of fitting. None of the dimensions are accurate, they're all over-estimated by 0.25-0.5 inches. In hindsight, I could have gone with a less expensive that was actually longer than this one and would have been just as happy. Furthermore, two pieces were slightly different sizes from each other, perhaps due to variations in bending the metal. It's a bit of a gamble when you order.I have two real complaints about this, both are which are depicted in the product photos. First, there are no mounting points along the rear edge of the tray. This means it cannot easily be mounted to the back of a desk, but instead is limited to mounting to the underside. I would have used such mounting points to attach a modesty panel of some fashion. I still can, but it would be extra rigged to get it work. There are less expensive competing models on revain that have this feature.Second, it would be nice if there was a horizontal support going along the length of the back about half way up, both for rigidity and to provide a good place to fasten cords to without them falling down. As it is, I have to affix cord as tight as I can to try to get them to not fall down. I may end up creating my own solution for this by stringing paracord across it.So, this thing is decent enough and doesn't mostly what it sets out to do, but unless it's on sale, I would not buy this one again and would instead by a less expensive model with more usability.
