DMoose Cable Management Box (Large)

Our recommendation
Buy the DMoose box when it will live under a desk or behind furniture, because it hides cables identically for much less money. Buy the Bluelounge CableBox when the box itself will be visible on a desk, shelf, or console, because its design, materials, and lid-as-stand justify the premium only in plain sight. Same job, different stage.
Design and materials
The Bluelounge is flame-retardant ABS with considered proportions and a lid molded as a device stand; it looks like a designed object. The DMoose is functional heat-resistant ABS that does the job without aesthetic ambition. On a visible shelf the difference is obvious; under a desk it is irrelevant.
Capacity
The DMoose large box offers generous interior volume that fits most standard strips with room to spare. The Bluelounge's single size fits standard strips but can be tight for oversized surge protectors. Measure an unusual strip before choosing the Bluelounge.
Price to function
Both hide a power strip and vent heat. The DMoose does it for a fraction of the Bluelounge's price. The premium buys appearance and the lid stand, nothing functional beyond that.

Questions, answered
Are both safe for power strips?
Yes. Both are vented and made from heat-resistant, flame-retardant plastics. The safety rules are the same for both: do not exceed the strip's rated load and never daisy-chain strips inside.
Which is better for a home office on video calls?
The Bluelounge, if the box appears in your camera background. Under the desk, the DMoose is the smarter buy and the camera will never know the difference.
