4 out of 5 stars handy piece to own   November 11, 2008
Joyce E. Stotts (Newark, New York)
I bought this for my new son-in-law, since it was still on the wedding registry (so I figured he'd still want it). He loves this little valet charger and says its very handy.


5 out of 5 stars My wife likes it more than I do....   November 10, 2008
Charles Evans (North Carolina)
The charging valet has helped me with my age old problem of finding my keys. They are now always located on the charging valet, next to my wallet, watch, and cell phone. It is very convenient to have one station that keeps everything together. In fact, my wife likes it more than I do since it forces me to be a bit more organized and have all of my stuff stored neatly on the valet.

The drawer on the valet is not overly large - about 1 1/2" high by 10" wide and 8" deep, but it is big enough for me to store my shoe horn, collar picks, and extra chapsticks - these are items that I previously stored in various places throughout the bed room. Now I always know exactly where to look for all of my items.

The Charging Valet has a nice designer look and does not look cheap. In fact, it kind of reminds me of a mail jewelry box...only manly-er.

Pros-

- Comes with a hide away power strip
- Bits in with many decors
- Well designed to maximize space but eliminate your ability to make it look "Cluttered".

Areas of improvement -

- The power strip does not fit in the spot it is designed for.
- When you need to remove your charger (such as your phone charger for travel) it can be a bit clumsy and cause things to start falling off. However, this is a pretty minor point.

Final verdict, the Charging Valet has help to make my life a little more organized and that has made both me and my wife that much happier.

4 1/2 stars.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday, and he LOVES it! It is not too big for his bureau and he can fit alot into it. The price is right too!!


3 out of 5 stars Docking station   October 2, 2008
Rhonda Odom (Alabama)
Well, it was broken when we opened but it was an easy fix. It also lacked the knob that was shown in the picture. It looks very attractive and makes my husband's corner of the kitchen look neat and organized. It keeps all the cords for phones and blackberry organized and hidden. I am very pleased with the purchase.


5 out of 5 stars Nice wood and finish.   September 19, 2008
Patricia Perez (Fort Worth, TX)
Nice wood finish. Works great for our cell phones. It also has soft fabric on the bottom, so it won't scratch our wooden desk.
