GOODS+GADGETS® Under Desk Cable Management Trays, Set of 2, Grey Steel
Product description
A home-office desk with a power strip and loose leads underneath calls for a way to keep them together and out of sight. These GOODS+GADGETS® trays attach beneath the desk and are supplied as a pair. They suit a different need from cable clips, which guide individual leads but do not provide a tray for a power strip. The screw-in fitting is a key part of the choice.
Practical tips
Use the trays to gather a power strip, charging cables and adapters beneath the desk, leaving the work surface clearer. They are also described for standing desk setups, so they may suit a workspace where the desk height changes. A practical arrangement is to place the power strip and connected leads in the tray, then use the included Velcro cable ties to keep the cables grouped rather than hanging separately.
The set contains two trays, which gives you the option to divide equipment between them or use them in separate places. Each measures 43x12x10.5 cm, so consider the space available underneath your desk and the size of the items you want to store before fitting them. Installation is screw-in, using the supplied screws, this is more suited to someone comfortable attaching hardware to the desk underside than to someone looking for a completely tool-free organiser. It suits you if you want to conceal several cables and a power strip together, rather than only guide a few leads along an edge. You may want to skip it if you do not want screw-mounted accessories beneath your desk.

What you’ll notice day to day
Once fitted, the trays keep the power strip and cables beneath the desk instead of on the floor or spread across the work area. That can make a home-office setup look tidier and keep the desk surface free for work. The grey, powder-coated metal finish is intended to sit discreetly under the desk, while the steel construction provides a more structured place for cables than a simple tie or clip arrangement.
The main distinction is what you want to organise. Clips are a lighter-touch choice for routing individual cables, while these trays provide space to group a power strip, adapters and connected leads. The supplied ties help keep that group together, but the tray itself is the central part of the system. Its stated height is 10.5 cm, the product description presents this as suitable for standard power strips, though the dimensions remain worth comparing with your own equipment before installation.
Final verdict
This set makes sense for a desk setup where the aim is to move a power strip and several cables out of view, and where screw-in mounting is acceptable. Having two steel trays, screws and cable ties in the box gives you the main components for that approach. If your requirement is only to route one or two leads, clips may be a simpler fit, if you want a shared under-desk home for a power strip and its connected cables, these trays are the more relevant format.
