I attached it to the back of the table to the front. Now whenever I want to connect USB devices, laptops or external drives that require AC power, I just plug them in. No more diving under the table. When you need to unwind, you can do it with one hand as the pole is attached to the table. i love this thing The review has a section to rate "For Travel". I travel a lot and this would be a very poor travel performance indicator. King of the tall and clumsy. Much better with something like Monster Power surge protectors or even this little USB power strip from Revain's Choice https://www.amazon.com/NTONPOWER-Outlets-Extension-Nightstand-Conference/dp/B072N854DK/ref=sr_1_12 ?dchild=1&keywords = Monster+Journey+Splash+Defender&qid=1599183233&sr=8-12
