It might seem unnecessary or silly at first BUT I am SO HAPPY I bought this anyways! No longer knocking over drinks, not losing my remote, and I can keep a few extra necessities (like chapstick and headphones) in the extra compartments. He laughed at first, but fiancé was jealous and ended up buying one too! Comes in cute colors, an added bonus. I have it clipped to my bedside desk to keep clutter off the surface while working, but it also clips onto our nightstands, shelving units, vanity table... plenty of ways to move it around and get the most out if it. Definitely recommend it, definitely would buy again.
