Review on 2-Pack 16In Under Desk Cable Management Tray - Metal Wire Mesh Holder For Desks, Offices & Kitchens (White) by Tyler Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice, affective solution to cable management

Purchased the 2 Packs Cable Management Tray, 16 inches Under Desk Cable Organizer for Wire Management, Metal Wire Cable Tray for Desks, Offices, and Kitchens (White) and I'm pleased with this purchase.I had intended to purchase a J Channel, but realized the majority of the cable runs on my desktop were relatively short (1', 1.5', 3'. you get the idea) so the J Channel was not the right solution. Purchased this product fully understanding the necessity of drilling lead holes underneath the desktop to mount them with the included screws.Cleared the desktop of all peripherals and laptops - and with the help of my son flipped the desk over. Measured twice, and drilled once. Leads holes in place my son held each tray in place as I screwed them in. With two people this project was bingo, bango, bongo - done.The trays are sturdy enough to accommodate a plethora of switching power supplies and lite cabling to and from the associated devices. Even placed a Tripp Lite SUPER7B into one of the trays to deliver power.Really nice to have relocated those devices and reclaimed precious desktop real estate: Anker 7-port USB 3.0 Hub, CalDigit and LG switching power supplies, an SSD in an external enclosure w/ AC adapter, the Tripp Lite AND the power supply for my work issued laptop too - with room to spare. Cables runs are neat and come in under the desktop hutch to my CalDigit Dock. Clean and simple.Purchased some extra cable ties and clips to tidy things up further. My only regret - thinking I knew better and pushing the cables off to the side of the desk when dismantling everything instead of taking the time to put everything away neatly and starting over. Wasted effort on my part.May still purchase a J Channel to accommodate audio cables currently clipped to the back of the desk, but probably unnecessary. These trays work well for my purpose.

Pros
  • It gets the job done if you want better cable management.
Cons
  • Easily one of the worst purchases my wife has ever made.
