IKEA makes wireless chargers

Some assembly required? Fancy instructions and pieces to boot?

 

At least it has more of a modern appeal, then some cheap black plasticky object that looks out of place in your house.

 

It's a shame the lay flat.

 

They've had these for quite a while.

In fact, from memory they even have an option to "build it into" certain things like a bedside table and a sofa.

It's a good idea, but I had a good reason at the time for not buying it (can't remember why).

 

Dang, I was hoping they made some tables or desks with the charging built in and hidden.

 

Not exactly hidden, at least not on the furniture, but the lamps look to be pretty well integrated.

This range has been out for a while. Thought it was pretty neat when I first saw it, shame you can't wireless charge with iPhone. Although they do have a range of wireless charging cases as well, but none for any of the Plus models.

 

What saddens me a little is that some of the flagships have been removing the wireless charging, or required additional accessories. I loved in on my Nexus 4, so I had to buy a wireless charger/nfc combo sticker for my G4 and put that on the backplate. Most of the later Nexus devices had it, but the Pixel does not. Thankfully Samsung has been continuing to use it, which has probably helped keep it in the spotlight a little more.

I'd consider buying Ikea's line for this if I wasn't able to find so many options on Amazon.
