I should've bought these long ago. Cable management is never enjoyable, no matter what you use for it. But these at least made it easier.
What did these cost? Around $15? Do yourself a favor and buy them, there are much worse things to spend money on.
I work from home now and will be doing so about 85% of the time going forward. I have cables from three monitors, two laptops, a docking station, speakers, an LED strip, two phone chargers, a lamp, and a paper shredder, all plugged into two power strips and all tangled around my feet despite my efforts to try and organize them. Needless to say, I felt like all the cords were going to come to life, grab my legs, and drag me down into some hidden portal to the netherworld.
It took me about an hour to put these up and re-route my cables through them. Time well-spent in my opinion. I used 5 of the 6 that came in the pack, and also used the adhesive to stick the power strips to the bottom of the desk. The adhesive roll is great, very sticky and very effective. Still have about half the roll leftover, so I stuck the rest into my toolbox, might come in handy one day. The J thingies hold a bunch of cords, and the 6 that come in the box should be more than plenty for a single desk. I did cut one in half with a crosscut saw to make it fit betterb in a tight spot, worked perfectly.
As you can see from my pictures, the close-up shot is not very pretty. But unless you lie on your back under the desk and look directly at it, you'd have no way of knowing. The important thing is that the cords are no longer hanging down, are mostly hidden, and now I can get through my work day without flipping the desk over because of how annoying it was to be kicking those cables all day.
Would I buy these again? Yes, 100%.
