Charging and power
33 pieces in the range carry a built-in outlet block. Here is what that block will and will not run.
A power block in a side table is a short extension lead with a nicer enclosure. Treating it as that, rather than as a wall socket, is the whole of the safety story.
What it is
Two AC outlets and two USB-A ports on a moulded block, wired to a cord that plugs into the wall. The furniture does not generate anything; it relocates the socket to where you sit and hides the cable run inside the frame.
What it will run
| Device | Typical draw | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Phone or earbuds on USB | 5–12 W | Fine, both ports together |
| Tablet on USB | 10–18 W | Fine |
| Laptop, own charger in the AC outlet | 45–65 W | Fine |
| Table lamp, LED or up to 60 W bulb | 6–60 W | Fine |
| Games console | 90–200 W | Use the wall |
| Kettle, heater, hair dryer, iron | 1000 W and up | Never. Heating elements belong in a wall socket |
Four habits worth keeping
- Route the cord along a leg, not across the floor. Most frames have a channel or a clip for exactly this.
- Do not daisy-chain. One extension into another is where the fire statistics live.
- Keep the block dry. It is furniture-grade, not bathroom-grade; a knocked glass is the realistic risk.
- Unplug at the wall when you move the piece. Dragging a table by its own cord eventually pulls the wiring out of the block.
Every listing with a block is filterable: open the full range and choose "Charging station". The FAQ answers the questions that come up after the box is open.
