An all-in-one storage solution?

Well not really. First what I like. Which I didn't like then. First, I like the design and construction. It is monolithic and made of metal. I feel like I can drop it off the back of a truck and it will survive even if it's a little dented. Thanks to the design of this model's charging station, you can open it from the back, remove the part that holds the shelves and remove the shelves if you need space to load larger items. The included cord is quite long so you won't need an extension cord unless you're far from an outlet. The rear compartment, which houses the extension cord, has space to store the cord if you don't get too carried away. Speaking of cables, there are many places to run and secure them. So many chargers that once roamed loose in my house fit in, and that's a good thing. There are several comments. First, while the shelves are quite roomy, large laptop owners, like me with my Dell gaming laptop, can overlook this. I need about an inch more width. Second, the space between shelves is generally adequate, but it would be nice to see 1 or 2 shelves with limited adjustment for sometimes taller items. Third, I know these are some sort of desktop items, but heck to be able to hang it on the wall would certainly be GORGEOUS. I'm currently working on a solution myself and think I have ideas for this and others. And finally? The stainless steel rear extension cover is INCREDIBLY tight. To the point where I wasn't sure if I was trying to shoot it properly. There may have been a rant that I will not repeat here. And since it's sharp steel in places, BE CAREFUL WHEN SUPPORTING IT. I would hate to see someone try to remove that end and cut themselves. So in the "wish list" there are several items for it, several tweaks and changes that are far from perfect. But this is where it matters. Is it worth? I'll tell you honestly, it's worth it IF all your things fit. If you end up with a lot of things that are taller or wider than the shelves will allow, you're stuck. Most people don't have desktop replacement laptops or 17" or 21" drawing tablets. If you have many wider and taller items, please wait for them to appear in PowerGistics Home Hub UltraWide Edition. If they listen to feedback, I'm sure they're on the job. If your family has a lot of small items? Cell phones, tablets, handheld gaming systems, it's GREAT. My suggestion is to review your products. If you find that everything fits within the allocated width (and height)? Then be sure to try one of these. You can find some refurbished counters or desks and that's always a good thing.

Pros
  • I like everything so far
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
