I received this Upow Bamboo Charging Station and MixMart 6-Port USB Charger at no charge in exchange for this review.

The charging station is well-made. The wood is nice and solid, and the top part is held in place with four small magnets at the corners. There are four large slots which can hold iPads, large cell phones, and small cell phones. There are three large cutouts in the base, which allow for the routing of charging cables. (You can see those in the picture above.) There are also two small cutouts in two of the rows--four small cutouts all together, (not visible in the picture) which allow for even more flexibility in cable routing. One could charge up to four average-sized cell phones, and two iPads or similar devices at the same time, which would make use of all six of the charger's available charging ports. I would rate the bamboo charging station five stars.

The 6-port USB charger also seems to be well-made. My issue with it, and the reason the overall rating for the two items together is four stars rather than five stars is that I think the actual charging ability should be greater. Four of the six ports are capable of 2.4 amps, and the remaining two are capable of just 1 amp. At a minimum I would have liked to see all six ports capable of 2.4 amps, and ideally at least one or two of the ports should have been capable of QuickCharge 3.0 charging. For this reason my overall rating of the two items together is four stars.
