Cheap solutions to the family device chaos. Bought a desktop file holder and a 6 port usb-c and 2 usb-a 200w charging dock.

I put little color tabs to mark each type and they prevent the cords from falling through the zip tie loop. Can output to 100w max per port for the ones marked red.

Folder slots are for tablets and the shelf for phones. I’ll put adapters in the accessories shelf. Zip tied all the cords up nicely, left a little loose in case someone needs to pull the cord out a little farther. But I made sure not far enough they lay shit on the counter again.

Around $100 including the dock. Better than those cheap plastic walled fire hazards on Amazon.

    Pros: Less chaos

    You know where your phone is

    Cons:

    not enough chargers there are open slots in there

    No general battery charger get the IKEA one to charge small electronic batteries

    Where slow charge where fast charge

    Not really a lot of space to charge other stuff then phones or tablets

    Where changeable powerbanks

      This was enough for my very specific situation and tastes. Trust me, I know what I need. You’ll need something different.
