Squirrel makes a portable, adjustable, and ergonomic workspace designed to convert any bed into a multi-functional work area.

As my wife and I finished helping our daughter unpack her last box of pillows, frames filled with high school memories, and every bit of makeup humanly possible into her freshman dorm room last September, we smiled knowing she had found her place.  But her gadgets, water bottle and phone, the most important items to a teen girl, had not.  You see, her bed was a loft with no possibility of a bedside table or place to store her “essentials”. Nowhere to charge her phone, store her Stanley, or keep her tablet close at hand.

Utilizing my vast experience in manufacturing consumer products for pets and people, and my desire to be my daughter’s hero, we designed and built the Bedside Perch. Constructed from post-consumer plastics, the Bedside Perch incorporates built-in USB ports, kept out of the way of spills and cord tangle free.  But perfectly in reach so that my daughter stays connected, and her devices remain charged.

Since naturally intelligent squirrels are the ultimate organizers (nuts, not cellphones), Squirrel, The Bedside Perch, was in motion.  Now, not only my daughter, but everyone who is searching for a spot to store, charge and tidy up their beside essentials have the perfect place.  Whether it be a bed, couch or RV, your gadgets have their place and are within reach.

We are excited for you to give our Bedside Perch a try.  And keep a lookout for future products as we continue to solve daily challenges.

Squirrel offers a bedside caddy with multiple compartments and built-in USB charging ports. It's appreciated for its convenience, versatility, space-saving design, and quality. However, some users found the plastic construction flimsy, the product expensive, and the USB charging speed slow.

I love all of the different compartments and the ability to charge my devices with the USB A and C ports. I really appreciate that it's made of 100% recyclable plastic. My only concern with the product is the plastic felt a little flimsy at the tops of the compartments, so my concern is they might break easily. I did think the initial price was a bit steep but there was a discount on Amazon at the time that made it much more reasonable in the $35 range.

I bought squirrel bedside caddy for my niece. She’s 10 and sleeps on the top bunk - it’s a perfect addition to her bed for storing her water, e-reader, notebook and pens. It was easy to install and has great functionality. 

A neat solution for bedside storage. I would prefer two USB C ports versus one each of USB C and USB A, but a small point. Not sure how durable it will be but it does a decent job for now at least. I don't think I would pay full price for it, but it is pretty handy.

This is perfect for a dorm room and I look forward to giving it to my daughter when she starts college in the fall. If you lack room for a nightstand, this creates a built-in nightstand for you. It's easy to put together, easily moveable, and since it plugs to electricity you can even charge your cellphone. Wonderful and versatile item. 

i really like the concept of this. it was easy to put together and works surprisingly well. i was hoping it would come in other colors. my only complaint is that its black and hard to see at night. i bumped into it several times and the plastic is really hard. if it falls off you have two long sticks sticking out from under the bed which could hurt someone  or yourself if you learn against the bed. 

I love having somewhere to put my kindle, phone and water next to my bed without reaching over to my desk. I haven’t used the usb port yet as I didn’t want to have a cord stretching from my outlet, but the caddy is super secure and has lots of compartments to fill with whatever you need before bed or after waking up.

Seamless setup, and the unit is sturdy. It fits nicely on a nightstand and holds a variety of devices. However, the charge provided is much slower than any traditional charger. If charging overnight, this may be okay, but it’s not helpful mid-day. 

Pros: definitely handy and the material is quite durable, the whole piece seems high quality. The structure of the caddy makes it pretty easy to use with most beds since it slides under the mattress rather than clip onto the frame. 

Cons: For me, I don't think this really replaces the functionality of my normal nightstand. It would probably be better in a dorm, bunk bed, or lofted bed where space is tight and/or a nightstand is impractical. It's also pretty expensive for what it is - I had a discount with Thingtesting, but if I was looking for a caddy in general I'd probably go with a cheaper option. 

It was great using this instead of my nightstand as everything was closer to me.   I do wish it had a few more compartments/was a little bigger.   I feel like it is is sturdy and pretty to look at.

Nope. Hate this mainly for the charging components. For the price, you think you'd at least get a decent USB-C cable but you get a USB cable that is the spawn of Satan. The metal component is a bit too small so it doesn't snap into any charger. It will fall out of your charger. It will fall out of your phone. It will fall out of the Squirrel. To top it off, it charges slower than a squirrel trying to sneak up on your food. I liked using the main pocket to store and charge my phones - used the cup holder a few times and it was nice. Not a fan of the two smaller compartments even though I am a glasses user it's just ehhhh. Back to the charging components, which is my main interest in this product, there isn't even a solid cable routing plan so the USB-C cable I had hanging out is now ruined - I think there should be a nice way to allow for slack in the power supply cable, and the outputs should probably face the "open" side of the holder, with two hooks on the underside to route your cables so they don't stress and break like mine did.
