This matte-black bedside shelf is constructed from injection-molded ABS plastic, providing a rigid surface for bedtime essentials. It features a thumb-screw clamp mechanism with an aperture of 0.6 to 1.5 inches, making it well-suited for standard metal rails. The matte finish is specifically designed to resist fingerprints and maintain a clean appearance even with frequent handling.
The design includes a 3.1-inch diameter cup holder, which is most effective for standard cans and bottles. To ensure stability, it is recommended to use containers that are not excessively top-heavy. On metal frames, the clamp performance can be enhanced by periodically checking the tightness, as temperature changes can occasionally cause the plastic to expand or contract, affecting the grip on the rail.
Organizing electronics is made easier by dual-slit cable routing, which helps prevent charging cords from slipping off the shelf or becoming tangled. Specifications suggest a static load limit of approximately 12.5 lbs. Users should avoid over-tightening the plastic screws to preserve the integrity of the threads and ensure the shelf remains easy to adjust or move when needed.
The matte-textured UV coating on this model helps it stand out from glossier alternatives by better hiding surface scratches and oils.
- Dual-slit routing provides a clear path for multiple charging cables.
- A thumb-screw mechanism allows for installation without the need for additional tools.
- The integrated cup holder helps keep beverages separated from electronics.
