ZhiYo 2 Pack Cable Management Box Review
A cheap two-box fix that hides a cord rat's nest — if your cables aren't too fat.
The ZhiYo 2-pack cable box hides cords and a power strip for $19.99. We dug through buyer reviews on its build, the loose lid, and the shallow height.
Bottom Line
For $19.99, this two-pack tames a rat's nest of cords and hides an ugly surge protector under a desk or behind the TV. Buyers keep saying how much cleaner the room looks, and the two sizes cover most setups. Just know the lid sits loose enough that a bump can knock it off, and the box runs shallow, so thick cables fight it shut. For light clutter, it's an easy win.
I didn't lab-test these, but the pattern across 1,300-plus buyers is easy to read.
The Clutter Really Does Vanish: The main job — making a tangle of cords disappear — gets near-universal praise. People coil a surge protector and its cables inside, close the lid, and the corner reads as tidy instead of chaotic. The two-size pack earns goodwill; several say the medium box alone handled their setup. Setup runs about five minutes, no tools, and the three rear slots let cords exit toward whatever your desk, TV stand, or outlet needs. Parents flag a quieter perk: cords tucked out of reach of kids and pets.
The Lid Won't Stay Put, and It Runs Shallow: Two complaints repeat often enough to take seriously. First, the lid isn't a snug fit — bump the box and the top pops off. Second, it's shallow, so a surge protector with thick cables makes you bend wires hard or leaves the lid sitting proud. Opinions on the plastic split, too: most call it thick and solid, a few call it cheap, which points to batch variation.
Buy It for Light Clutter, Not a Fat Surge Protector: If you want a cheap, no-tools way to tame light-to-medium cord clutter and hide a strip under a desk, sofa, or bed, this does it. Match your cable thickness to that shallow box first.
