More people are buying toys that need cords. Virtually every Lexington home contains a variety of cell phones, computers, and iPods, which come with a slew of unsightly cords. Furniture with intergrated power strips, USB ports, and phone and Internet jacks are now being manufactured by many companies. From end tables to desks to coffee tables, power sources can be hidden almost anywhere.
A challenge that come with bringing power to nightstands and coffee tables is staying away from spills. Can we keep drinks away from the coffee table, just as we keep them away from the computer? Until cell phones and laptops are waterproof, we will need to proceed with caution. This style of furniture is thought of as a luxury, but might soon become the norm.
