Cable Management Box, Handmade Rattan Cable Organizer with 2 Open Slots, Cord Hider for Power Strip, Router & USB Hub
Quick take
This compact rattan-style cable management box helps hide power strips, routers, and USB hubs while keeping cables accessible through two open slots. People like that it looks intentional enough to leave out, and several say it fits real power strips with clean cord routing. The main thing to double-check is whether your power strip’s shape and thickness will sit comfortably inside and allow the lid to close.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Looks decorative enough for open areas, designed to be left out instead of hidden away.
- Two open slots support cleaner cable entry and exit without constant unplugging.
- Ventilated, enclosed design helps with heat dissipation while keeping cords contained.
- Reviewers describe the build as sturdy and not flimsy, with a lid that closes properly.
- Compact dimensions (13 x 5.1 x 5.1 inches) suit desks, living rooms, and home offices.
Cons
- Fit depends on power strip shape, some setups may require choosing a longer, slimmer strip.
- Two openings mean fewer routing options than larger cable raceways or multi-bay organizers.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is broadly positive around appearance, usability, and everyday cable routing. Several shoppers expected a decorative-only solution and were surprised by how well it functions as cable control. Common themes include clean-looking cord flow through the openings, a lid that closes without fighting the cables, and a sturdier feel than typical craft-style organizers. Reviewers also mention that ventilation seems adequate for their plugged-in setups, with no recurring complaints of overheating in normal use.
There is limited evidence on edge cases, but the most consistent “watch out” theme is sizing and internal fit, especially with power strips that are bulkier or don’t sit flat. That means it can work great for many common power strips, but buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific strip and cord layout.
How this cable box is designed to work
This is a compact, enclosed cable management box built to contain a power strip and small electronics like a router or USB hub. Cables route in and out through two open slots, helping you keep wires accessible while reducing visible clutter. The flat lid can also double as a surface for small items, which is part of why it is suited to areas where you would rather see decor than a cable jungle.
It uses a ventilated hollow structure, intended to support heat dissipation while still keeping cords safely contained from curious hands and pets. The overall look is a warm, rattan-inspired weave designed to complement living rooms and desks.
Key specs that affect real-world fit
- Size: 13 x 5.1 x 5.1 inches.
- Open slots: 2 (cable entry and exit points).
- Materials: polypropylene and rattan.
- Weight: 9.6 ounces.
- Use case: indoor or outdoor.
In practice, the biggest buying variable is whether your power strip or adapter layout can sit fully inside and still allow the lid to close cleanly. Reviews suggest it can accommodate typical power strip setups well, but bulky or oddly shaped strips may require a different strip style to get the best fit.
Pros and cons for different setups
Best for
- Desks and home offices where you want a tidy cable run without turning the area into a permanent eyesore.
- Living-room or nightstand setups where you prefer cable concealment that looks decorative enough to leave out.
- Users managing power strips plus one or two small devices (router, USB hub) and who want cleaner cable flow.
Who should avoid it
- Anyone with a very bulky power strip or an adapter layout that will not fit comfortably inside the box footprint.
- Users who need many cable entry points (two openings limit routing flexibility compared with larger multi-bay systems).
Buying guide: how to choose the right cable raceway style
If you are deciding between a cord-hiding box like this and other cable management options, start with what you are trying to hide.
- Choose a cable box or cord hider if your goal is to conceal a power strip and a small cluster of devices in one place, especially when the setup will be visible.
- Choose simpler raceways (covers or channels) if your electronics can stay in place and you mainly want to route cables along a surface.
- Choose based on device footprint: measure your power strip thickness and overall footprint, then compare it to the internal space implied by the box dimensions and how much clearance you need for the lid to close.
This box is a strong pick when you want “hidden but presentable” cable management for a single power strip and small electronics, with ventilation built into the enclosed design.
Verdict
The Cable Management Box, Handmade Rattan Cable Organizer with 2 Open Slots is a good option if you want to tame visible cable clutter while keeping your router, USB hub, or power strip accessible through two clean openings. Reviewers consistently appreciate its sturdy build and intentional rattan-style look. Just make sure your specific power strip and adapter shape can sit inside without forcing the lid, since fit can be the difference between “snug and neat” and “almost fits.”
FAQ
What size power strip can this cable management box fit?
It is designed around a compact footprint (13 x 5.1 x 5.1 inches). Fit depends on your specific power strip’s thickness and overall shape, since reviewers note some setups may need a longer, slimmer power strip to sit flat and allow the lid to close.
Does it have openings for cable entry and exit?
Yes. It includes two open slots so cables can route through while keeping the power strip and small devices contained.
Is the box ventilated, or will electronics overheat?
The design includes a ventilated hollow structure intended to help dissipate heat. Reviewers report ventilation seems adequate for their plugged-in setups, but any enclosed cable management solution should still be used with sensible airflow and device placement.
Can you use the lid as a surface?
The lid is designed to close over the internal electronics, and it can also serve as a flat top for small items.
Is this meant to hide cables completely or just reduce visual clutter?
It is made to conceal the power strip and cable bundle inside the box, reducing visible clutter significantly while still allowing access through the openings.
