Size-Overall11%−0.05

cage is small as well

A bit smaller than expected

Strength9%−0.02

It does feel a little bit flimsy

they were quite flimsy

Weak

Assembly/Installation5%+0.72

There is a small amount of self assembly after taking the trays out of the box

My only criticism is that the adhesive used for the no screws method of installation is not strong enough

The screws broke super easy when trying to screw them in

Flexibility5%−0.02

A bit flexible

Should have been deeper and a couple of cm higher to hold UK plugs and power adapters

Socket/Port/Plug5%−0.01

Plugs cant even fit in it

My only slight issue is that it could be slightly deeper to comfortably fit an extension lead that has 2 rows of sockets
