My husband always has a mess of cords under the table near his chair in our living room and he needs to have several power strips because the larger plugs take up too much space. This has solved all of our problems and makes it much easier for me to clean under his table. This setup spaces out the outlets so even the biggest power cords can fit without taking up the entire power supply. The quick charge surface on the top frees up an extra outlet or usb port and charges his phone quickly.
