Storing cables, gadgets and other electronics.

Where do you store yours??? 

I have lots of things I use often and want some ideas on how to store them so that they don't get tangled but are easy to access. 

at the moment they are spread all over my little dining table and I think it is about time that I reallocate the table to be used for meals... 

So I have chargers for phone, battery charger, mini scanner for receipts... my laptop charger, speaker plug... 

some will fit on my new little laptop desk but not sure about the other stuff...

I'm thinking of attaching something like a towel rail to my desk, so I can put them all there and access them easily, untangled. Don't really care how it looks, care more about function.

I have a cute little cabinet that I bought on here (you can see it if you like, I forgot to change ids when I went shopping). The printer sits on top, with the laptop on top of that when not in use,  and all the chargers, mouse and stuff go in the little drawers. Papers and stuff on the shelves. It's working well so far.

Like this idea.. thanks

the little desk I have is actually a "kitchen" trolley...

the little towel rails on the side might be ideal to convert into a rack with hooks...

Lurker... I have that trolley in the link I posted... I got mine from aldi. 

I plan to use the drawers for usb's, pens, charged batteries... stuff like that as the drawers are only small.

Yeah, I think we had had same idea. Although they look different they serve the same purpose. I had to clear my breakfast table 🙂

Just use the rail that's there. No need to convert, drape all the cords over the rail.

lol..  

seems those surfaces where there is lots of space are very attractive when you have a laptop... 

I just popped mine down for a short time...  then put a letter there.. then a pen.. then I needed to charge the batteries... then I needed the speakers set up so I could hear something I wanted to watch as the laptop ones were not loud enough... then there were letters from school.. pay slips I needed to check over... then my phone charger found its way over... 

next thing you know it resembled a desk...

they need to be fixed as they roll... I think the cables would roll off... 

putting glue in them right now.
