Aspiring architects will be in their element Explore this illustrated narrative history of buildings for young readers, an amazing construction in itself. We spend most of our lives in buildings. We make our homes in them. We go to school in them. We work in them. But why and how did people start making buildings? How did they learn to make them stronger, bigger, and more comfortable? Why did they start to decorate them in different ways? From the pyramid erected so that an Egyptian pharaoh would last forever to the dramatic, machine-like Pompidou Center designed by two young architects, Patrick Dillon's stories of remarkable buildings -- and the remarkable people who made them -- celebrates the ingenuity of human creation. Stephen Biesty's extraordinarily detailed illustrations take us inside famous buildings throughout history and demonstrate just how these marvelous structures fit together.Binding Type: Hardcover

Easy to use
Color: Light Violet
Works well, charges at a good pace (neither too fast nor too slow which is perfect for me) but phone won't charge if it is on landscape mode. This is by design and it not an issue at all for me but I understand it could matter to others. Although the design is simple the color is pretty and it has been sturdy so far. No cable issues either. Magnets connect as they should even though I have a case on my phone, cause my case is not too thick, it still charges my phone. With my airpods case I do have to make sure it is right on the magnet cause if it is slightly off it won't charge but again this is design and not a huge issue. Due to the charger's shell being made of plastic (or what seems like plastic), the airpods case can easily slip on the charger as you set them to charge. Just a slight adjustment and it charges the airpods pro case. My bro used it to charge one of his more recent apple watches (forgot which one it is) and it charged just fine so it seems to be compatible with newer devices. I don't see why the magnetic charger wouldn't work on newer devices (i have an iPhone 14) because the magnetic charging works the same way, right? The only reason I see this charger not working would be 1) you or someone else drop and break it or 2) manufacturer defect.

Good choice for wireless charging of Apple devices
Color: White
I am very pleased with this charger stand. it is sturdy yet lightweight. It packs flat for travel. i can charge my iphone 15 max with its slim Otterbox case on. also charges my apple watch. A good product and affordable. The pad for Apple earbuds works well too, but it won’t charge another brand of earbuds I also use in its wireless case.

Definitely would buy again!
Color: Pink
This is a great charger stand! It’s very convenient, easy to use, and keeps everything organized in one place. The charging speed works well, and the design looks clean and modern. I also like that it helps reduce clutter and keeps devices upright while charging. Definitely a useful and reliable product!

3 in one charger station works 100% of the time!
Color: Light Violet, Color: Light Violet
This was a major addition in my life and a game changer for everything I wanted and more in my one charging station. It’s super great for the phone is chargers for, I have the iPhone 11 and it really helps me take a break from the corner of my room, cleaning it, and staying more productive during my day. Works great for AirPods that don’t come with the IPhone 11 and memory for buying those! It’s great for my living room where a ledge is in the middle between hallway and kitchen, and I love the purple, lavender color. It’s incredible! Really recommend this to anyone you know. It’s strong for the iPhones it does accept! Try it out and see for yourself! Easy and the box is recyclable! So cute! 😊 The magnet on the charger works like air and it needs a nice white ledge to be placed on or a new bed side long table. Good luck 👍 and enjoy! 😉

Great Wireless iPhone Charging Station
Color: Black
First and foremost, this is not a fast charger. It's a wireless charger, but still charges at a decent speed. If you're in a hurry and want a fast charge, use the provided cable for a direct connection to the provided charging block. If you can accept this, it's a great product that works as it should to charge your phone, watch, and ear buds simultaneously. I have an iPhone 17 Pro with an OtterBox Pro Defender case, and it charges just fine. Folds flat for travel. Seems well made and the price is reasonable. I have no complaints and would recommend this product.
