This $10 desk accessory made my workspace dramatically smoother

My basement office had a cable problem. Underneath my desk was a total disaster. Power cords hung loose, USB cables got wrapped around my monitor wires, and the whole mess would sway around when I rolled my chair back. One time, my foot got caught in a cord and almost pulled a monitor to the floor. It just looked ugly. You can see every cord hanging loose when you walk into the room. Every time I had to crawl under there to figure out which cable was which, I wanted to throw the whole desk out the window.
