Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ha, not bad. Expensive.

This is a neat system for my desktop peripherals. I assembled it tonight and didn't glue it, but you can see right away that it needs glue or it just won't hold. Things I like: I have some grey, some black and some white shapes (different sets). They are a good match. I like double and single lid containers. The bottom of the rear drawers is sloped, which is good for shorter items. You won't get paperclips out of them, but they're great for pens, erasers, etc. --- Extruded aluminum cables/system mounts connect easily and look great. The rubber spacer looks nice and doesn't compress too much when you tuck the cords underneath. You need to glue/screw/velcro it. If you glue it, you won't be able to add strings later. I'm thinking of velcro. The post-it holder is pretty good, but you won't rip off one sheet at a time unless you're some sort of poster ninja. It's more like a post office. It fits me. I like the power plug / USB plug. I have a couple of steel case outlets that I bought from a used closet dealer a few years ago. So, but for this system. It's durable, looks good, and is handy for plugging in all that USB stuff (i.e. getting more and more of all that stuff) - a phone charger doesn't do much for me. I use a wireless charger attached to one of my desk lamps, but as such it's only convenient enough for an outlet and a tight space that only needs a couple of permanent markers. I also have several file holders (3, vertical) that go with this one. They just connect and look pretty cute) So what's not to like? Good: --- Urns with lids shouldn't be. I can't think of anything that's short enough to close the lid, yet not so small that I could just blindly pull it out of the trash can at the other end of my desk. Maybe one thing, but not enough to fill a lidded bin. Luckily, kids release them easily, and trash cans look great without the lid. This is garbage, probably not worth it. The scotch dispenser isn't as good as the sand filled scotch dispenser I've always had, but then it wouldn't be as good. I don't use duct tape very often either, so I'll try that for a while, maybe to save space. Bottom Line: Kids joke with me about OCD, but I don't care. My wife wants a set for HER table. I'm not sure if I want to pay for it. Although I wouldn't hesitate to spend other people's money.

Pros
  • Relocate/Hide Cable Management Cables + Dock Accessories
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
