Very handy!
Color: 3 prong, Size: 10FT
Great option for our bedroom. With only one outlet to share- this cord has been amazing. The lay flat plug style makes it so we can have our bed up against the wall and each side of the bed can have plenty of options for plug ins. I like that is has standard outlet and also usb-c an usb-a options.
Ended up buying a second for a different area in our house.

Practical
Color: 3 prong, Size: 5FT
It’s super practical, I use it for my bedroom behind the bed/headboard. It’s super useful because of the variety of inputs/ports. The compact size of the dock is good for hiding.

Great product
Color: 3 prong, Size: 5FT
This product works perfectly, I plugged it in the back wall of my bed and connected everything I needed and completely forgot it was there, which means it holds the plugs perfectly in place and so far I have not had any problem. The length is perfect for a queen size bed.

Great shelves!
Size: 10"D x 15.7"W, Color: Black, Size: 10"D x 15.7"W, Color: Black
Perfect for what I needed. I sanded them, painted them white, then hung them above my washing machine and dryer to hold some laundry supplies. They made laundry easier! The are sturdy. It took no time to install. They’re heavy but not so heavy that they sag or drag. It came with screws and anchors that made installation a breeze. They look great! Highly recommend.
