Questions people ask

Will a flat plug fit behind a bed frame?
Most are designed to stick out only a couple of centimetres. Measure the gap behind the furniture and compare it with the plug depth.
Do flat plug strips come with USB ports?
Many do. Check the listing for the number and type of USB ports if that matters to the recipient.
