Charges just as advertised
The Charging Station doesn't come with any instructions; you're supposed to figure out how to insert the plastic divider panels (not hard, but it would be nice to know they only go one way and should snap into place). The charger does charge multiple devices at the same time, but the "glow" that's supposed to be there during charging doesn't happen. No big deal since it's a decorative lighting thing only, but still would have liked all features to work.UPDATE: I found a video that explains not only how to insert the dividers but also discussed the lights. What I discovered is that you must turn on the light (front insert will light up). Then, when you plug in a device to be charged, the appropriate panel also will light and remain lit until charging is complete. A bonus to turning on the light- it provides visual proof that the charger is plugged in! Since I thought the light was purely decorative, I hadn't turned it on. Then, one evening, I plugged in my phone to charge overnight; next morning, no charge! That's when I found that the power plug for the charger wasn't fully seated in the charger, so it wasn't working. Everything looked right, but a firm push on the plug proved it wasn't seated. Now I keep the power light turned; never any doubt about the charger being ready any more..

IMPORTANT UPDATE Awesome while it worked
UPDATE: Tried to get this to work before buying a new one. Tried several outlets, plugged in and out over and over, and jiggled power connector a bit. Finally worked again for about a week. I unplugged it today only to find the end of the cord that goes into the hub is literally burnt. Unit felt warm, so now I question the safety of this. It was all original cords, so something here is wrong. Just glad I was home in case it caused a fire.I have two of these - one that's used hard by a family, and my own, which sits on a desk and never moves. I'm the only one who uses. It worked GREAT for 18 months and I loved it. Could charge so many things on my desk at my fingertips. But 18 months later, my phone wouldn't charge. Tried a different cable. Tried another port. Tried flipping on the blue light...nothing. So I unplugged it from the wall and tried a new outlet. Still dead. It just literally dies while I had my phone and tablets plugged into it overnight.Buy with caution. Works nicely, until it suddenly doesn't. And they only guarantee it for a year, so I'm on the hunt for a different one that stands behind their products.

Works exactly like I was hoping!
It's exactly what we were looking for! All electronics are to be put up in our room during the night but we didn't have enough plugs and space for them. Enter this fast charging station. The kids know to plug them in at 7:30 and that's it. Perfect setup and looks really nice with the blue lights. It comes with a mixture of cables with 2 iPhone charges and the others for Android I believe. The cases fit in the slot with one case a little tight but still works.

10-month review from a very happy owner
I usually forget to give positive reviews, but my wife regularly reminds me of how awesome this purchase has been, so I felt obligated...Our kids have giant protective bumpers on their tablets, so I ended up removing some organizer panels to get everything to fit. There's nothing preventing devices to lay flat on the surrounding area to charge, so I bought some extension cables to use with it. We charge everything off of this thing, including various radio-controlled toy batteries. It's pure convenience over having a tangled mess of cords, charger heads, and power-strips for traditional single device chargers. Here is the description from the extra cables that I bought, which are very nice, strong cables:"Micro USB Cable 1ft, Cabepow Android Charger Cable, Durable Premium Nylon Braided Fast Phone Charger Cord Android USB Charging Cord Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S7 S6 S7 Edge S5,Note 5,PS4,(5pack)by Cabepow"I would 100% recommend this charger and those cables to anyone with lots of micro-USB devices to charge. We're only running general Android and Amazon Fire devices, so we didn't use the included Apple style cables.* 2-year update: This this is still awesome and we've had to swap in new cables for the newer devices with different connectors that we're using with it. Time to order a second unit for Grandma's house.

No more looking for charging cords!
My kids kept losing their charging cords, misplacing cords, or argue over the cords. So this charging station eliminates all the drama. At night, everything gets charge on this charging station. Problem solved!I chose the charging station that had 5 usb to micro cords since our children, friends and family have android devices. I am an Apple girl and there is one lighting to usb cable there if I choose to charge my apple devices. (I have my own apple charging station in my bedroom.)As other reviewers have stated, turn the charging station on and when you plug in your device, the divider lights up. When the divider's light goes off, then your device is charged. This system works great for young children, so they know when the device is fully charged by looking for the glowing blue light.This system is also great for adults, because we can glance at the divider to see if our device is ready as we leave out of the house.If you don't care to have a glowing blue light then turn the charging station off. Yes, your device will still charge because the station is plugged into the wall outlet. You will have to check your device's battery status to see if it is fully charge.I have this charging station in our living room, which allows everyone to charge their devices in one central location.Great product. I choose this product over similar products due to the blue light indicator for my children. (They have a charging dock for their xbox one controllers; which has a light indicator as well.)

Really good.
We have been using this for a few months and it has been doing a sterling job. Between the various family members we have it loaded up every night and it charges nice and quick. Tablets, phones, headphones, PS4 controllers all charge quickly. It is a little light and I was initially nervous about the stability when ordering but that has not been a problem at all.
