While I love my electronics, I am not a fan of the cords it takes to keep them running.  And with animals in the house they have been known to "zoom" past where I have things charging and something gets knocked on the floor~phones are not cheap to replace.  

So, several months ago I designed boxes to hide the cords.  While one worked very well the other took a beating as it is in the area where most of the day is spent.  

This is a remix of that box.  I shifted from 3mm wood to 5mm for the strength; created more holes for the cords to come in and out; separated the surge protector cord from the rest and used metal hinges purchased at a local hardware store.
