I have a small apartment with few outlets but I have a lot of appliances, computers, Stereos, TVs, etc. I can't turn down any of my outlets just because a piece of furniture makes them inaccessible. These Firmerst Extensions are the perfect solution for me. Essentially, they allow me to place the outlet where I can reach it without interfering with my furniture again. They are well made and UL approved for the full load of a standard household socket (1875W). The flat plug allows the furniture to be pushed against the wall as desired, and unlike some extension cords with flat plugs, they are angled so you can plug two of them right on top of each other.
