The Cup-Holster provides a practical mounting solution for keeping beverages away from electronics and paperwork. Rather than relying on adhesives or suction, this unit secures to the edge of a desk using vertical compression. This design creates a stable environment for standard coffee mugs and tumblers, effectively reducing the risk of accidental spills in high-traffic workspaces.
Build Quality & Usability
The frame is constructed from high-impact polypropylene, a material chosen for its ability to handle the warmth of hot drinks and resist the acids found in common beverages. Specifications indicate a weight capacity of up to 5 lbs, though maintaining a lighter load helps preserve the longevity of the tension mechanism over several years of use. A notable design feature is the integrated side notch, which allows mugs with handles to sit flush within the holder.
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools, making it a helpful choice for those who move their workspace frequently. However, measurements show that the clamp is designed for surfaces up to 2.0 inches thick. If a desk features a structural support beam very close to the edge, it may interfere with how the unit seats against the surface.
Tests show that the over-the-desk "bridge" design helps keep heat sources suspended away from sensitive wood or laminate finishes, acting as a thermal buffer for your furniture.
For those looking for a dual-purpose option that also handles gear, the GUNKING 2-in-1 holder includes a dedicated hook for headsets. You can explore a variety of similar mounting solutions by visiting our clamp-on cup holders section.
