Hotel room outlet hide and seek

I used to travel for a previous career - a lot actually,.. around 150 nights per year. Numerous times I found myself in hotel rooms with two queen beds and a large nightstand in the middle. More often than not, no outlet existed on or near the nightstand. However, almost always there was an outlet was situated along the wall adjacent to the bathroom. Even with an extension cord, my charging phone would still be in an unfamiliar place during the night.  

After doing some analysis, I figured that the space between the bed and the wall was always at least about 7-8". This small space is what helped us to shape the dimensions  for what is now known as an Urban Shelf. No nightstand existed that could accommodate for this small useable space and allow for easy portability.

An Urban Shelf placed against the wall side of a hotel room bed would allow most charging cords to reach the outlet, as well as provide the perfect place for a phone while sleeping. Using the shelf in the room for a multiple day stay is where is really shines - especially when you begin to rely on its practicality. Urban Shelf has become a 1 lb travel accessory that I always keep in my laptop bag.
