FRIED OUR HOUSE
»
This has to be the cheapest item i have ever purchased from amazon. plugged the supplied outlet in and it tripped the breaker in our house powering the whole kitchen, after finding a flashlight and resetting breaker, tried it in another room and it did the exactly same thing. packaging was awful as well, we still have those static Styrofoam pieces everywhere!!! do not buy.

Convenient way to organize your electronic devices
»
We have a lot of gadgets to charge (3 IPODS, Blackberry, Nintendo DS, and 2 cellular phones). Our main items are placed into this valet allowing us to have a tidy method of hiding the cords within the body of this unit. A small drawer is convenient to put my keys and pager away.
The outlet strip allows for 6 items and there is a small notch to allow the cords to be exposed for easy access. The workaround for plugging multiple cords is to use a cord extender so that bulky plugs do not have to take up 2 spaces on the 6 outlet strip.Power Strip Liberator (5 Pack) Extension Cords
The finish is good for the purposes of its functionality. Construction is solid. For the price, it's a good value.
Get one for yourself, your friends and your relatives.
VERDICT:
Highly recommend.

handy piece to own

I bought this for my new son-in-law, since it was still on the wedding registry (so I figured he'd still want it). He loves this little valet charger and says its very handy.

My wife likes it more than I do....
»
The charging valet has helped me with my age old problem of finding my keys. They are now always located on the charging valet, next to my wallet, watch, and cell phone. It is very convenient to have one station that keeps everything together. In fact, my wife likes it more than I do since it forces me to be a bit more organized and have all of my stuff stored neatly on the valet.
The drawer on the valet is not overly large - about 1 1/2" high by 10" wide and 8" deep, but it is big enough for me to store my shoe horn, collar picks, and extra chapsticks - these are items that I previously stored in various places throughout the bed room. Now I always know exactly where to look for all of my items.
The Charging Valet has a nice designer look and does not look cheap. In fact, it kind of reminds me of a mail jewelry box...only manly-er.
Pros-
- Comes with a hide away power strip
- Fits in with many decors
- Well designed to maximize space but eliminate your ability to make it look "Cluttered".
Areas of improvement -
- The power strip does not fit in the spot it is designed for.
- When you need to remove your charger (such as your phone charger for travel) it can be a bit clumsy and cause things to start falling off. However, this is a pretty minor point.
Final verdict, the Charging Valet has help to make my life a little more organized and that has made both me and my wife that much happier.
4 1/2 stars.
