There is a groove moulded into the lid to stand your phone in while it charges, which is a small idea that turns out to be the reason people keep it on the side rather than under the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31 x 13.5 x 12.5cm, in PP plastic with a glossy finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable lid, so you can lift the whole top off to get inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilation slots along the side and the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhone standing groove on top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree colours: white, green and pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a cable tidy box works better in a living room than a tray\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder a desk you can get away with an open tray, because nobody is looking. In a living room, a bedroom or on a sideboard the wires are at eye level, and an open basket just moves the mess up rather than hiding it. A closed box with a lid deals with that properly. The vents are the part worth caring about, since a plug strip working away inside a sealed box gets warm, and slots along the side and bottom keep air moving through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill my plug strip fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 31cm long inside it takes a standard four to six gang strip comfortably along with the slack. Measure yours end to end if you have an unusually long one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it get hot inside?\u003c\/strong\u003e That is exactly what the vents are for. Air moves through the side and base slots rather than sitting still around the plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put a router in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is a popular use. Just leave the aerials clear and do not shut a router in with no airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the groove in the lid for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Standing your phone up while it charges, so the cable runs into the box and the phone sits at a readable angle on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat else tidies the same area?\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cable-cover-no-drill-desk-cord-channel-organiser\"\u003ecable cover\u003c\/a\u003e handles the run from the box to the wall, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/reusable-cable-ties-self-adhesive-cord-straps\"\u003ereusable cable ties\u003c\/a\u003e keep the slack inside bundled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDelivery and returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree delivery, no minimum spend, usually 7 to 14 working days after dispatch.
