This is the same underpowered and flaky charging panel you find in every hotel now isn’t it? $75 each for small particle board endtables doesn’t seem like much of a deal either.
@jandrese@mike808@PooltoyWolf Given that 80% of the ones I’ve seen in hotel rooms don’t work properly, I’d need to think twice before putting one in my house. (And think four times before putting two in my house.)
Kind of a shame, as I think my better half would have gone in for one, anyway.
@agnesnutter@heartny While I agree that much of IKEA furniture is mainly engineered wood as well, they do have an increasing amount of birch, unfinished, and other solid wood items. The HEMNES and BJÖRKSNÄS are solid wood for nightstands, but there is a fair amount of dining tables that are solid wood.
Just use the filter sidebar and choose “Solid Wood” for Material.

What exactly does Bush Home think “hidden” means? The extension cord and charging cables show zero signs of hiding. In fact, they stand out clearly in the product pictures. Bush Home needs designers with at least rudimentary studies at a hide and seek academy.
@chienfou@mwarren Poor phone companies didn’t really want to charge those but were forced to by govt agencies (just ask them) and then were merely recouping their costs (+ handling fees and upward rounding?). And funny how such charges don’t stay hidden for very long.
@mwarren A lot of charging-capable end tables and nightstands on the market have the charging block on the surface of the table. This has it on the back, so it’s hidden and you don’t use up space nor have cables sticking up vertically on the surface.
This takes the cake for the most forced and ridiculous 2-pack. STOP. Would have bought it at ONE, but forcing me to buy TWO of the SAME COLOUR no less is insane. Especially insane given the high cost. Again, stop.

In five years or so this is going to be like the stereo console I grew up with, as in furniture with obsolete tech built in. Except the wood is lower quality.

@jandrese agreed. Especially with no power specs.
@jandrese @mike808 Not likely to be super fast charging, but the USB-C port might be a bit faster than the USB-A port? If you’re lucky?

@phendrick they have yet to issue a licensing check. I’m not opposed to entertaining offers.
I kind of like these, but I think I’ll stick with my solid wood end tables from IKEA. Not a fan of engineered wood.
@heartny solid wood from IKEA? what model of end table? I haven’t seen that

If only they had Bluetooth.

@mediocrebot didn’t get a preview copy of the tables, hunh?
@phendrick No bushy beavers?
That wood isn’t going to make itself.
@mike808 Wasn’t sure that would fly. But the bot had the opportunity (or I could have referenced Whoopi?)

This is what “hidden charging” means:
@mwarren
I thought hidden charges were those things that showed up on your first phone bill when you change plans.

Eighteen year old me would be so happy about this if it ran my Nintendo and stereo. Old me wants it to be bigger and maybe walnut.
@jwoody27 Those were the days…I still have the integrated mobile cart I built that houses a 20" flat CRT and N64 with all accessories!
@jwoody27 Old me would also prefer the charging ports in the drawer rather than behind the table where I have to fumble to plug things in.
Both would also be good.
I am NOT taking that in my carry on. Guess I’ll just stick with my $20 80 watt charger plugged into the wall

@user43397771 Perhaps for either side of a couch or bed? #DevilsAdvocate

@user43397771 I guess some Meh’ers have two people in one bed.
By this logic, the stack of cardboard boxes against my wall also has hidden charging.
@brennyn Why do you charge cardboard boxes?
If they had wireless charging I’d be interested (but still pass, don’t have anywhere we could use/fit 2)
Meh is all about snacks and charging docks…
This here is a pretty big charging dock…
And charging docks are snacks for your connected digial soul extensions.
