Well, its serving its purpose barely - but with just a couple minor changes it would be great. First, you have to supply a power strip which you place in the back of the unit to feed all your chargers. Tricky part is you are unlikely to find a power strip small enough to fit in the back. I found a very short one and I still had to jam it in. I have just two cellphones plugged into and there is no room left in the back, the bulk of the chargers and the power strip is too much. The change bin in the back is tiny. You could make it just 2" wider and you could actually place your keys and maybe a wallet in it.

This does not include a power bar and the space is too small to handle any I've found. The cords from your individual phones/etc must come from below the device, so if your phone connection is on the side of the phone, it may not even fit in the space provided. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

Although this product is very nice, I feel as though the wording that they use to describe it is incorrect. To me the words "charge all at once" means that I can charge all the devices with only one cord that plugs into the wall. However, this is not the case. This item is simply a method for organizing you devices. Although it is a nice idea, it is certainly not worth the $34.99 I paid, and if it wasn't a gift, and Christmas wasn't 3.5 days away, I WOULD return it. I feel that by using the words, "charge all at once" they are purposely misleading the customer.

I was really excited about this charging station, but the reviews are all right on target. It is terribly designed. The back compartment only fits a very short power strip, and you do really have to jam it in there. However, the short power strip is only long enough to fit 2 traditionally shaped AC/DC converters - ie the ones that are too wide to fit into adjacent plugs. If you're thinking that's no big deal because I have the slim kind of AC/DC converters that CAN fit into adjacent plugs (like for your bluetooth earpiece), HA! The back compartment of the station is too narrow to fit those converters. The only real option is taping the power strip to the outside of the station. We'll be returning this one and opting for something more functional.

Item is just as described. I suggest zip ties to help organize the cords underneath it. I got this for my mom who was perpetually putting her cords away and then getting them back out to charge. She now has them right next to her bed.

I like this product. I looked at many different charging stations to find one that had enough room for 4 phones. This works nice on my kitchen counter.
