Build a device charging station

Do you have an area in your house that looks like this?

For some reason, our kitchen counter has been our recharging area for a long time. It is always cluttered and as we get more electronic devices, it becomes more and more confusing to find the right cord for the gadget you need to charge. Plus, its right next to the stove. Not the best place for all this.

I made this charging station so we can easily charge all our devices (well, six of them at least) and keep all the messy cords hidden. Only one cord plugs into the wall: the one attached to a power strip that hides in the back behind a sliding panel.

The charging cords fit into slots, preventing them from sliding back into the box when not in use.

I made this using 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch plywood, but it would be a great project to build using some special wood youve been saving. If you would like to build the charging station, here are a full set of plans:
