It's a clever idea but it does require some work. It works great for powering my fan and coffee maker, and the USB ports are handy. However, I installed it in a booth and the wall was very close to the table and couldn't move. The way the mount attaches to the pole makes it difficult to mount on a desk. It wasn't possible to attach a thumbscrew expander, so I had to use a piece of plastic to keep it from digging into the desktop. My other issue is that the USB ports charge my iPhone but not my iPad. Overall this desktop edge power strip isn't bad, it just doesn't give me everything I need.
