Makes my desk cleaner

Mounted on the back edge of my sit/stand desk. It works great with the included monitor arm - the desktop looks clean and has more usable real estate; and when the table is raised to a standing position, the only cables that need to be left long enough are the power cord from it and the ethernet cable; All other power cords are neatly arranged under the table and connected to an extension cord. I've also used the USB ports to charge phones and never had a problem. Although I tried charging my phone and tablet from two USB ports at the same time and the area around the USB ports got dangerously hot, it is possible that the tablet and phone drew too much current, exceeding the calculated one. Capacity. Wouldn't want to do it again. I'm hoping the USB ports are 2A x 2 so they might be enough to charge two large devices at the same time. And that's why I'm deducting a star.
