Prosumer's ChoiceNatural Bamboo Charging Station Rack for Smartphones and Tablets

First of all, This bamboo charging station was supposed to be strong. As you can see in my pictures, it wasn’t strong enough. I was kind of skeptical of buying it because of some reviews I saw. Unfortunately, it happened to me too. Second of all, the price should of been $10. The staple tag holds this “bamboo” wood wasn’t strong. Finally, I contacted the seller and never got a respond. So, consequently i would have to give it a bad review, for quality, over price and bad customer service. Save your money and look somewhere else.

I really wanted to like this product. When it first arrived I assembled the lid and installed the wooden guides and thought that the lid felt very thin and weak. Like the type of wooden material that I put airplane kits together as a kid, where the pieces just snapped apart.My family used it for two weeks and we set phones and tablets on top of it and today when I tried to add another USB cable inside the tope broke into 3 pieces. They should consider glueing a small piece of ABS plastic to the bottom as reinforcement nor using a better quality thicker wood for the base.The color & shape are great. I really like the design. A bummer it didn't work out.

1. It arrived with a broken piece. It was broken BEFORE it was painted black.2. Shipping is a nightmare and took nearly three weeks.3. Don't try to register your product, because the website does not exist.4. The value for the price is horrific. Do not waste your money on this.5. The unit is very small. If you have laptops or Chromebooks with charging cables that have the box unit half way through the cords, forget it. They will not all fit along with even a slim power strip inside the box.6. Overall = A very disappointing experience for nearly $50.

This could have been better designed if it were a larger box (there is not a whole lot of room for wires inside the box, especially for macbook chargers).Also, the hole that goes from your wall outlet to the power strip is in an odd place. The power strip had to be tilted the way it is designed.It also would have been handier to have the power strip go through a slot and not a hole (in case the wire is bigger than the hole). And, it would have been nice if the area where the electronics stood had some sort of friction to prevent them from sliding out easily.So basically, I can't use this :(

I am a woodworker so I was able to fix this and I am pleased with the product but here are a few things to consider. When assembling the product, specifically inserting the stand-up dividers, they were very tight and resulted in splitting the top of the box. Be very careful inserting these. I had to take two of the dividers to my bandsaw and cut them back just a hair on both ends. Secondly, if you plan to install a small power strip inside the box (and I was presented with an option to also buy such power strip) remember, newer devices with 20W charger bases will not fit inside that box attached to even the smallest power strip.
