Mark Feldstein VL8 Charging Valet, Satin Black Reviews

• NOT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS

  
  By A2KP65JS3YY5VL on 2007-05-26
  I was of the opinion this would really help me organize my office and purchased two of them.
  
  Bottom line is with the bulky connections the chargers have now days there is no way to plug everything in.
  
  Blackberry
  Bluetooth
  Cell Phone
  etc.
  
  

• Love it!

  Man I can't tell you how much I love this item. It has already helped clear the "clutter" area where we normally drop our phones and keys.
  
  

• Great idea but needs a little more work.

  I love the concept of the Charging Valet. There is only room for two items to plug into the 4 plug power strip due to the bulky nature of most electronic gadgit recharging plugs. I would suggest buying some adapters so that you can plug more then the 2 items in at a time.
  
  

• This Charging Valet does the trick

  As the first reviewer has pointed out, the mini-power strip can only hold two of those block style plugs. However, I love the look of my new black charging valet station. It's got a handy little drawer and hides all those messy looking cords. All in all, it's a stylish way to charge my Blackberry and mp3 player, and it makes my counter look less cluttered.

  Item is as described. It eliminated the use of 3 different outlets and makes it easy to keep everything organized.
  
  
• Just what we needed!
  By AZQ29GNNF5AK7 on 2008-05-15
  Spotted this and knew it was just what we needed for our cluttered table. The integrated power strip had a cord long enough to reach the outlet at floor-level in our old house. It only has four outlets, and we can only plug in two chargers because of their design, unfortunately. However, the drawer and top tray keep everything organized and accessible.
  
  
• Deluxe Electronics Charger Station - Black

  I love this product. In fact, I ordered two. Delivery was as promised.
  
  
• just as explained

  this little charging station looks as nice in person as in the description/photo. It helps clear up some clutter and is a nice addition to the desktop
  
  
• Limited Plug Ins
  By A1TS17BZGE94JA on 2008-04-30
  The power strip is standard and therefore only two units could be plugged in. They should provide a custom powerstrip with wide spaces (does anyone make this? someone should!)
  Otherwise the product is of nice quality and function.

  This charging valet does serve its function and it looks neat, only if your chargers are larger than regular size, all three of them won't fit on the extension outlet cord provided.
  
  
• Cell Phone Valet
  By AOESWG0OYBCIS on 2008-09-10
  Great little valet! Perfect on a counter or desk, keeps cell phones and mp3's organized and neat. We use the drawer for keys and badges. Great value, found cheaper valets but their construction did not compare. I recommend the valet and suggest the accessory for the power strip to allow full use of the strip.
  
  
• Nice wood and finish.
  By A3TIKHBQ1B3ICP on 2008-09-19
  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.
  
  
• Docking station
  By A1MWDXELQTQPY0 on 2008-10-02
  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.
  
  
• Makes a great gift!
  By A1TVD9M7CN5TO3 on 2008-10-17
  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!!
  
  
• My wife likes it more than I do....
  By A18YMFFJW974QS on 2008-11-10
  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.
