TOPREK Wood Grain 6-Way Extension Lead with 2USB-C, 2USB-A & Surge Protection (2m, Brown)
Product description
If you want an extension lead that looks less like an afterthought and more like part of the room, this TOPREK wood-grain style model is designed for that. Beyond the finish, it also bundles USB charging (2USB-C and 2USB-A) and includes surge protection, so you’re not just extending power—you’re managing everyday charging too.
Key takeaways
On paper, this is a 6-way extension lead with a built-in switch and USB charging. It’s positioned for home office desks, living rooms and kitchens where you might have a mix of standard plugs and devices that charge via USB. The spacing between the AC sockets is meant to help with larger adapters, and the 2m cable should give you some reach without making the setup feel messy.
The essentials (for what you’d actually use it for)
This extension lead is most useful if you regularly plug in a few power-hungry items close together and also want to charge phones or other USB devices without hunting for a separate charger. The wood-effect finish is a genuine part of its appeal: it’s intended to blend with wooden floors and furniture, and it may suit interior styles like Nordic, modern simple or industrial.
A practical micro-scenario: imagine working at a desk and needing power for a monitor and a lamp, plus USB charging for your phone and maybe a smartwatch. With this lead, the USB ports sit on the same unit, so you can top up devices while keeping the mains plugs in one place. An on/off switch also means you’re not fumbling for the wall socket when you finish for the day.
What stands out
The stand-out features here are fairly clear: - Six AC sockets on one unit, with wider spacing to accommodate larger adapters side by side. - USB charging built in: 2USB-C and 2USB-A, with a total output of 5V/3.1A (USB-C: 5V⎓3A, USB-A: 5V⎓2.4A). - Surge protection, with an energy absorption capacity listed as at least 2100 Joule. - A switch and overload protection approach: the lead includes circuit breaker protection, and it automatically cuts power if the surge is too high.
One thing to keep in mind though: you still need to respect the overall limits for the mains side (it states the total current should stay under 13A and total power under 3250W). If you tend to run several high-power appliances at once, you’ll want to double-check your load rather than assume “more sockets” means “always safe”.

Where it may fall short
It’s not the cheapest “basic extension lead” type — you’re paying for the wood-grain styling, the extra sockets, USB ports, and the surge protection. If you only need a couple of plug points or you already have plenty of USB charging elsewhere, it may be more than you need. Also, the USB output is fixed to the stated total, if you plug in multiple USB devices, charging speed will depend on how those ports share the available power.
Worth considering if
It’s a good fit if you want one tidy unit for mains power plus USB charging, and you care about cable/plug setups looking presentable in a living space or home office.
It’s not for you if
It might not be a great match if you’re regularly running high-power appliances that push close to the 13A / 3250W limit, or if you only need a very small number of outlets and don’t care about built-in USB or surge protection.
¿Merece la pena?
For the typical UK home office or lounge setup, this extension lead is reasonably convincing: it combines 6-way mains expansion with 2USB-C and 2USB-A charging, plus surge protection, all in a finish that’s meant to look good on display. Where it can feel less worthwhile is if you want a simple, no-frills extension lead, or if your usage pattern is mostly high-power appliances where you’d be better using a more suitable power arrangement rather than relying on a multi-socket strip.
Quick overview of buying checks
Before you buy, it’s worth checking: - Your mains power needs against the stated 13A and 3250W limits. - Whether your plug sizes benefit from the wider spacing (especially if you use larger adapters). - That the 2m cable length suits your layout and won’t pull the lead tight. - Whether wall or edge mounting slots will help you keep the desk area clear.
