BlueLoungeCable Box Cable Management /Tidy Solution in White

I'm really pleased with this, and may buy more for my other rooms. It's simple, but it does make my power bar look much neater. Having read the other reviews, I was concerned about the size, and bought the smallest six-way power adapter I could find at the same time (no surge protector). That adapter actually fits with lots of room to spare, and a fancier adapter of mine with a surge protector and USB sockets also just about squeezes in. My old-style airport express fits in the box, which I was relieved about. The box does look pretty big, but it blends into the skirting boards, and light things can be stacked on top of it.

I use this box to house a mass of computer cables, a USB hub, and an external hard drive used for Time Machine backups. For this purpose it is excellent and allows me keep my desk a lot tidier in terms of cabling.I would agree with other reviewers that the width means that any 6/8 plug socket would just fit not leaving much room for larger plug adapters which is why I've rated it four stars. For my use however it is perfect.If you want to use smaller gangways, or use it like I have, this is a great way of keeping things together, out of sight, and less dusty.

If you have an electronics setup of any sophistication, you will be all too familiar with the mass of cables that proliferate as you add components, and inevitably become entangled with each other.This well constructed cable box is a very easy to deploy solution to such a situation. Simply straighten the cables out as needed, lay them in the box, close the lid to keep the dust out, and let the inconspicuous box blend into the background. If more cables need accommodating, lift the lid and drop them in.Highly recommended.

Bought this to house my 8 way surgemaster plug. It's nowhere near big enough. The marketing claims that it'll house nearly any adapter, but clearly it doesn't. That may be the case in the US where the plugs are smaller and the cable often point straight out/upright.The only extension lead that this box is suitable is the 'single row of sockets' type. Very few adapters of this type are longer than 4 ways. Making this a very expensive way of tidying up just 4 sockets.Truth be told, its not even that much tidier, as the cables still trail across the floor, and the box itself is really nothing special. Its just a smooth plastic box at the end of the day. Its certainly not a revolutionary piece of furniture.Expensive and disappointing. I don't understand the rave reviews on here.??**Update**Ok so I found a single strip 6 socket lead and have just used this in the cable box instead. To be fair it does look much tidier now, but the box is rammed with cabling and power bricks etc.. Hopefully the heat etc. won't be too much of a problem.? I've moved my (rather expensive) belkin surgemaster extension lead behind the TV instead. I'm feeling more generous so I'll promote it from 1 star to 3 stars. Its still way too expensive though. This should be c.£10-15.

I have one already, for my desktop - I use it to house a 4-plug (UK) extension lead. That's enough for my laptop, phone charger and printer, and allows easy access if I want to move them around. it's perfect.The other cables are at my feet, behind my desk. They're for more permanent connections, and hard to access.I've just bought another one for our TV connections - I think they're great.On the minus side, I don't think you could comfortably put two 4-plug (UK) extension leads into one of these.

This is the 2nd of these I've purchased & they make all the difference to creating a tidy way of hiding tons of extension cords and/or wires. Given the amount of chargers and computer /TV connections we all have, and how aesthetically unpleasing they can be - this is the most useful solution I have encountered. (in one of the places I use it - the top also provides a useful surface for phones/ipad while charging).

£40 for a box? but see the before and after photos - we got 3 boxes and all the cables are tidy and we can hoover the whole floor under the desk. Before: The cables are a complete mess and they're thick with dust! After:That's tidy!Hope they sell loads so the price comes down.

I am very happy with the cable box in general, however.......My only issue is that although an 8 way plug fits in to the cable box, if any plugs are none standard size then they don't fit in the box plugged in. It is also a VERY tight fit if the plug houses 8 standard size plugs.A 4 way plug should fit fine with none standard plugs though.
