Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £29.63 ex-VAT, this is a sensible “tidy-up” purchase rather than a tech upgrade. A metal under-desk cable tray with a screw-on install is exactly the kind of thing that stops your power brick, power bar, and loose leads from turning the underside of your workstation into a spaghetti festival. If you’ve got a KVM setup (or any desk-mounted gear) and you want the cables to drop in an organised way, it’s a low-cost way to improve day-to-day usability and make future changes less painful—especially when you’re constantly swapping or rerouting leads.

That said, it’s not magic and it’s not for everyone. If your desk layout is tight, your cable runs are unusually complex, or you’re hoping to “solve” cable management above the desk (monitor arms, patching, routing to wall), this will feel a bit limited since it’s fundamentally an under-desk basket. Also, if you care about keeping everything vibration-free and perfectly concealed, baskets can still let cables bunch and sag unless you plan the routing. Overall: buy it if you’re trying to make an office workstation (or KVM cabinet-style desk) look and function cleaner on a budget; skip it if you need premium aesthetics or a more structured rack-like solution.
