Would this be safe/enough to do with a shoebox?

Bare in mind the extension would probably be plugged in all the time?

The only problem I would have with that is if the extension gets overheated as they sometimes do in confined spaces, and with the shoebox being cardboard it might catch fire.

That's what I wondered too Maggie. Xx

The heat build up won't be enough to make the cardboard combust, although the chargers may over heat slightly I wouldn't be overly worried about it.

If you are worried, just find some nice stencils and use them as a template to carve out a pattern from the lid to help the heat escape :)

Hi

If it's placed at the back of a work surface couldn't you just have it three side as in front and two sides?

No one would know.

I think it wouldn't be that much dangerous if you would remove the plug of the extension always after use. )t'
