Hey guys
I'm looking for a cable basket to hide and hold a couple of power bricks that power my monitor and speakers, however everything I can find requires mounting the basket to the desk by screws, which necessitates drilling into the desk
I spent a good bit of coin on my custom made desk (it was a gift) so I'm a bit hesitant to drill holes into it
Are there any baskets that don't require drilling the desk to mount it? Like for example, hooks that can slide onto the edge? Adhesive mounts are probably not strong enough to hold the weight of two power bricks
I currently am using an extra one of these I have to mount a power brick.
It is supposed to be for hanging game controllers, but you can mount things with it as well. The version I linked above comes with 12 of those Anchor circles and you can put 6 on the power brick and then six on the location you want to mount. They are basically like stickers so no drilling. Also, I have peeled them off stuff when I no longer needed them and they either leave no residue or very little (I actually just used the anchor circle itself to get the little bit of residue off). I have used them on metal (fridge), plastic (computer monitor), and wood (desks and end tables).
Alternatively, you can use their Circle Tie System to hang a power brick like they did on this office desk. Here is a link to the actual product page for those.
That Game Controller System I first linked has an option to include those Circle Tie Systems if you are looking to organize/mount the cables associated with the power brick as well (or some other cables).
I hope this helps and that you find what you are looking for!
Can you post a picture of your desk so we can better see what we are working with to better assist?

Putting together a Desk Haus Grand Rapids desk this weekend and would like to get my power and cable management squared away. It's a standing desk so ideally looking for some low-profile cable management as not to be as visible in standing mode. Desktop is 72x30.
Anyone recommend a cable tray that fits to the desk with clamps/vices instead of screws?
I just got my Valve Index, and I've been looking into doing cable management, but the Kiwi design cable management mount I've been looking at requires drilling into the roof. I currently rent a house with two roommates and I would be okay with doing this...if my roommates were also okay with mounting things.
My question is, essentially, if there is a work around for the Kiwi mount, or if there is a different mount that goes by a different method?
I have a custom made solid wood desk that I don’t want to drill into. A cable tray would be great but it would require screws to be stable, right?
my partner and i share a table at home to work with our monitors opposite each other, so we can't run cables under where it's typically wall-facing for most people. there's only one area with two power outlet against the wall on the side (second image) - wondering if anyone has ideas on ways to make our cables look neater and not all over the table? we're also not very keen on drilling hole either!
grateful for any suggestions :)
I have a weak desk and can't screw anything on it (I'm afraid it can't hold with the cable's weight). I was wondering if some of you know something like this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Under-Desk-Cable-Management-Tray/dp/B07HMXBSLW?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2) without having to screw to table and it would hold many cables.
Just got this new huge desk for work/gaming/music/etc and have cables galore everywhere.
One thing that’s tough is that desk is solid walnut so I really really don’t want to drill anything into it. It seems like the only good cable management solutions are drilled into the bottom of the desk along with cable ties/cable sheaths/etc
Are the any other options to helping with this cable monstrosity?
I would imagine you'll have a hard time finding one that can properly support enough weight, while being hidden/mounted under your desk without some form of drill/screw
Assuming you don’t care that it’s on there forever, you could use the ikea one and just use some construction adhesive to attach it.
Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of any good cable management solutions for the cables on your desk. Currently I have a power strip velcroed to the bottom of my desk and cables tied to some of the metal parts under the desk to hide some of the slack. I was wondering what you are currently using because I have seen some solutions online, but I am having trouble deciding.
My work-surface is the Solid Wood 1.75" Select Plus 30" x 80" and my frame is the apex pro
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hey all, as you can all clearly see my desk is currently a massive mess on the cable management end, I need some serious advice as well as product suggestions, thanks
I'm looking at a few options for cable and power strip management and have only seen mostly solutions that require drilling into the desk or usage of clips.
What are you all using, if any, to manage your cables?
I tried these plastic stick on wire things but they don’t work great.
So I'm moving soon and one of my ideas for a setup was to have it away from a wall if that makes sense?
My biggest problem with that idea is the cable managment, because I have no experience cable managing without a wall.
I'd like to not drill any holes in my desk but the option is there.
If you have any tips please put them in the comments, thank you!
I’d like to blame the messy desk on vacation unpacking, but I’ve been lazy the past few months too. I need help/ideas for cable management. The desk is a standing desk so cables attached to the desktop need to be able to account for when the desk is raised. As for the other cables, any and all suggestions are welcome!
PS: Ignore the floating HDMI cord, it’s for a switch that needs setup post vaca
I've never done cable management before. I didn't even think about it until my boyfriend mentioned all the wires hanging out.
