what a ridiculous idea, has he even tested it??? dangerous and unnecessary, any item of weight placed on this will break the socket, possibly causing shock or fire, I’m a qualified electrician and urge people not to buy this pretentious rubbish, sockets are not designed for this

I agree, but as a guy that likes to hide the cord, It would make a great shelf for my clock or LED lamp to sit on and be right next to the plug.

Why can’t we just leave our sockets empty? With the exception of homes with small children, there is no need to spend $25-$325 (or even 50 cents on a plastic socket plug) to block our unused sockets. I would much rather walk into a home and see all of the sockets empty, than seeing every unused socket plugged by a cork, shelf, etc. Why would I spend money to save money?

would you want to put your coffee on this knowing how loose fitting US plugs are when put into wall sockets.
Nice idea but i’d rather take my chances with the British plug and socket, quality and a tight fit all in one.

Not a good idea. First of all How much weight can it really hold (i’m thinking about how often and easily things come unplugged)…. also next to your couch…? Okay lets put my coffee mug down on it. OOPS it accidentally spills.. ZZZZzz. Of put your paper Mag. on the thing? right next to the outlet? fire?
