Lipper International 812 Bamboo Wood Charging Station for Cell Phones, iPads, Tablets

Beautiful, nicer in person I think.I had one divider (the one on the left as you face the station) break off. It fits back in to place neatly. I think I can glue it back in as it pops out from time to time. I'm not even sure I'd call that a problem with the manufacturing, could just be a guy who gave it a little too much push.Overall this is a great buy, great price, and I would recommend it highly to anyone who is looking to tackle the clutter of a thousand little cables.I combined this with the Anker® 40W 5-Port Family-Sized Desktop USB Charger with PowerIQ™ (from Amazon of course) and several PortaPow Specialized 5ft 22AWG Charge Only Micro USB Cables and wow! The charging station fits right in the back, the cables coil up inside with ample room, and it all closes up in one beautiful package.I'm organized, have just one power cord plugged in to the wall instead of dozens of wall warts. My wife loves that I actually organized something and made it look nice. I love that it's a one stop shop to charge all of my devices and even store a few fully charged batteries for back-up.

As others have said, the wood is attractive -- a little darker than in the pictures, but that actually enhances the look. Most of the 'quality' charging stations seem to be cherry or walnut veneer over MDF: looks great, but MDF has very little long-term strength, especially around the hinges. (I have one that is about a year old with a rear door that falls off, even though it's seen limited changes since the day I got it.) This one is clearly made of 100% natural bamboo. Mine arrived in great shape with no loose parts or broken corners. The factory packaging is minimal (shrink wrap and a cardboard info card around the middle), so I can see how it might get damaged, but if packed well in the box it should be OK.As mentioned in other reviews, it's not all that large; I think of it as 'compact' vs. the typical designs. I just want a space to put a couple of phones and maybe my Logitech Harmony remote; I already have lots of furniture. So fo me at least, this compact size is a good thing, once all of the adapters are plugged in and the whole thing is buttoned up. That can be a little tricky: the secret is to put it together in reverse order. The obvious thing would be to find room for the outlet strip (not included), then plug in the AC adapters, then wire it up. Instead, start by fitting the wires through the holes, then wrapping off any extra cord with twist ties or Velcro straps. Bury the excess cables under the wedge part. Now, add the AC adapters. Unless you need huge power, I found that the Motorola travel adapters (also sold on Amazon) work well: their connectors are oriented so that the plugs can also go under the wedge, and they're nice and small. I have three of them attached to a power strip on its side, fitting like a glove. (See attached picture.) Plugging them in is tedious, but once they are in, they fit like they were made for the space!The only reason that I give it four stars is the lack of a power strip as delivered -- although given the price, maybe it's to be expected. So, 4.5 stars.

After some embarrassing days where I risked being late to work because I had to hunt down either my keys, wallet or phone, I decided I needed an organizer for my dresser top. I did not want anything plastic, so my task was to find something made of wood that fit my budget. I settled on this bamboo organizer/charging station as it looked nice, had 4 cord ports and was the right size. I was a bit wary of a few reviews that complained of poor construction, but upon delivery I was very pleased to find it was tightly made and very sturdy. I placed a small powerstrip with both AC and USB ports inside the the inner chamber and fed the cords through the holes in the wood. This is a very nice, well made organizer/charging stand and with addition of a couple of hooks on the side, I can always find my wallet, watch, work badge, keys and keep my cell phone, fitbit and tablets charged and in place.
