I'd like to build a small table to sit between the two chairs where my love and I sit most evenings-- she watches TV and I read for the most part. I'd like the table or a box that sits on the table to accommodate (and organize, hiding the wires) the following items:
Sennheiser cordless headset base station/charger (needs both power and wired audio connection to TV)
cordless phone charger (needs power)
two cell phone/ipad chargers (preferably built in with retractable cords, lightning connector for now, who knows in a year)
TV remote
two beverages
The overall piece will end up in a Craftsman/A&C style. There is a floor electric outlet and audio jack for the TV underneath where the table will sit. We currently have a floor lamp with articulated heads to provide reading light. Books and magazines already have multiple nearby storage spots.
I'd like to hide the wires as much as possible. It shouldn't look out of place in a room full of antique clocks and music machines.
Anyone seen a well-designed version of such a beast? I've found hideous plastic ones that do some, but not all, of the things I want.
I've looked some and haven't found a retractable charger cord meant to be built into a piece of wood yet, such a thing must exist though. Any pointers?
