My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Where does the power strip cord go?

12 years ago
Hi there! We would LOVE to replicate your charging drawer. How do you deal with the slack on the power strip cord when you shut the drawer? Thank you!

    We used a pig tail cord similar to a telephone cord on the back of the drawer. There is no problem with the space when it it closed but you do need to use full extension drawer glides . Hope that help! You will love it !

      Power cord is is a spiral cord so no issue with the cord getting in the way .

      We have done this as well, but could not find a spiral power strip cord- could you share the info on the product?

      I agree. This information would help since we plan to do this as well.

      We will ask the builder on this project to provide a part number for this and get it to you.

      Those of you who have this, are there issues with heat like the others were alluding too?
      I would also like to add this to our remodel.

      The best application we have come up with at present is to cut the top of the back of the drawer the size of the outlet which should be located on the wall behind the drawer. This way you can actually install a USB outlet too.

      Any issues with the extension cord getting tangled or stuck under the drawer when it opens and closes?

      My client loves the drawer and has not had any problems with the cord getting in the way . Good luck with your install!
