Reviews mention

  • Easy, tool-free installation
  • Compact, space-saving design
  • Convenient, multi-compartment organizer
  • Stable, secure mattress fit
  • Flimsy, brittle plastic construction
  • Slow, underpowered charging ports
  • Faulty, low-quality charging cable
  • Limited, slightly cramped capacity

Squirrel earns mixed reviews: the bedside caddy reliably organizes glasses, remotes, phones, and water within arm’s reach and installs easily, but reviewers fault flimsy-feeling plastic and notably slow or faulty charging components. The brand’s product works for dorms, bunks, and small spaces, yet limited compartments/size and durability concerns temper enthusiasm.

  • The brand is ok but the product missed the mark completely. It was very useful for my multiple bedside items and only really had a pull-thru design for my cords.

  • 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.

  • Great organizer for your bed. As long as your mattress does not sit below your bed frame this organizer will work for you. It held my drink, kindle, lotion, and tv remote. Much easier to reach for items than clouding up my nightstand that’s so small next to my bed.

  • I liked the overall concept of this product and the problem that is seeks to solve. What I didn't love it how flimsy it was. In the product photo, it shows it holding an ipad, remote controller, sunglasses, and a metal water bottle. Because the product itself is made of plastic, I felt like it would snap in due time if I were to actually put as many things as suggested on here. A better, sturdier material for this, such as metal, would make this product a solid 5-star review. I will still use it, I just will use it for lighter objects such as my phone and remote controllers, rather than larger objects. I think the product could also benefit from holes places in strategic places which would allow objects being held by it to be charged directly from outlets, since the limitation is currently one usb charging port on the product itself.

  • This does what it's supposed to do - organize your bedside. Glasses, remote, phones, etc. - all conveniently accessible right by the bed. Great for folks with a tendency to misplace important items.

  • Excellent space saver! Makes it convenient to have my phone water bottle and my ps5 controller without arms reach while laying down. It isn't cheaply made either so can hold a quiet a bit of weight. The black color matches perfectly with my black bed frame! It was easy to put together and I also love that it has USB ports to charge my phone and controller! Thank you!

  • This is great and super convenient! However, I think the price point if a bit high for what it is.
