If you're reading this review you are probably not window shopping, but most likely looking for a solution to the unsightly problem we've arrived at in the digital age. I took a chance 6 months ago based on the reviews here and purchased this charging station.
What people say in all the negative reviews and positive reviews is correct:
It's true that the plastic piece the "grass clumps" attach to is flimsy and they fall apart easily. However, it's also true that this problem is very easily and effectively solved by putting a drop of gorrila glue on each 'pin' the grass attaches to before attaching them. Since doing that, no problems with grass falling out.
The same can also be said about the box just being a plain box underneath the grass with no special notches, clips, etc. to secure plugs and adapters. That's true but it's also not a problem once you've taken the time to strategically arrange these items and where the cords come up through the grass.
In the end, once you've spent some time doing this (you only need to do it once) the result is a nice looking solution to a common problem. We keep ours on the entertainment center cabinet below our flat screen TV, where, despite being cheap plastic, it looks very attractive and is used to charge 2 iPhones, 2 pairs of 3D glasses and a mobile broadband card.
I would give it less than four stars if there were competing products that were more attractive or with better features for the same price- but since there's not much competition and it does solve the problem well it deserves this rating (IMHO).

I was disappointed in this item. I thought I would really like it, based on the appearance. But it's really just a cheap plastic box with fake grass in it that falls apart when you move it around to set it up. The station does not include a cord/outlets. And some chargers plug into extension cords at odd angles,so the grass "sticks up" underneath them. Yes, it's kinda cute and silly. And it's kinda nice that they have a cross piece in the bottom to wrap cords around. But is it worth this much money? Not really.

Nice item, but finding a properly sized power cord is frustrating.

Nice item, but finding a properly sized power cord is frustrating.
The item is ok- looks nice, though is thin plastic. It doesn't seem particularly sturdy (as in, the fake grass being placed on the prop that holds it up. It was frustrating finding a power cord that fits it. The product description is accurate- it tells the size of the product, and that it doesn't include the power supply. For the price, it would be more reasonable if it included the power supply cord. But, overall, a clever charging device.

Good product
As mentioned is some other reviews, it is a little tight underneath for all the plugs. You may have to get a little inventive and/or buy a small multiplug adapter with the right... Read more

Very cool
It does its job of conveniently and stylishly keeping the wires out of sight. And the grass holds the wires so they don't retract.

Functional and Charming
Unique way to hide cords and gently hold devices. I also put other small things in it to keep close at hand.

Is this seriously what I paid 18$ for? What a piece of junk. I am more mad at myself for not reading the reviews ahead of time than anything else. Read more
