Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Stageek 6 Ft Floor Cord Protector: Flexible PVC Duct Cable Concealer for Home, Office or Warehouse - Prevent Trip Hazard! by Jason Sundstrom

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Open bottom and PVC that never lays flat (manufacturing defect?).

The ends never loosened enough to lay completely flat. I had to cut one of the ends about 4 inches to fit the area I wanted. If you are cutting this I would split the cut length and take it off both ends. Maybe during the manufacturing process they rolled it tight for shipping before it had fully cooled/cured. The PVC on the rest was fine, but not quite as "ready" to lay as perfectly flat as the silicone product I later bought to replace. The silicone product also has more slip resistance. I unpacked it and left it in a warm place where it would get extra warmth from sunlight. I also moved two heavy chairs and placed them at either end, thinking this would help relax the product. There is no joy. I ended up using a heat gun, but again, this didn't loosen the product permanently. In addition, the channel through which the cable is routed is completely open at the bottom. This leads to some difficulties in keeping the cable(s) in the duct. A plastic clip will help you with this, but it is better to use a clamshell channel. Need to move it temporarily? The cable falls out and needs to be reinserted. Duct tape helps, but doesn't improve the already poor grip on hardwood or tile. To keep it from moving, you need to use strong double-sided tape. The downside to using double sided tape is that it can damage some types of flooring such as Pergo. Lesson learned: Pay a little more for an engineered "rubber" or silicone product that lays perfectly flat and closes over the cables you're trying out. to protect. At best, this is a compromised design and a potential trip hazard.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Obsolete

Curls up constantly. More of a tripping hazard than the wires it is supposed to protect.

It's like an old man who gets in your way on the way to the subway, but it does work well.

Tough stuff that does the job with thick cabling!
