I purchased two Staples 3' Cord 6-outlet strip white. One on each side of my office: the first takes my electric typewriter an electronic calculator a table lamp and the cord for my cell phone charger. The second has a radio and a floor lamp. What I like best is the shape of the heavy duty - 3 prong - plug; its plugs straight into the socket and does not interfere with a plug placed above or below as those that are "L" shaped.
