Palo Alto Charging Station
Submitted by Celine Pering
I recently moved into a new house, so I went to Target to get organized. Saw this charging station and it has worked great as a way to hide the cables. I never forget my iPhone because it's always by the front door. My keys are here too. But, the big black extension cord still looks ugly and out of place.
