Was vacationing and saw something very similar to this at the botique hotel we were staying at. I found it super useful with charging all our devices. I just had to have one. Finally let go of my ihome from 15+ years ago. It was an eye sore since I don't use my ipod anymore. This is a welcomed change. It's compact and has outlets for USB and AC. It's easy to set up. The alarm sound is good. I like the brightness dimmer option on it also. Nothing but a happy customer.
