Charging station for family devices

Between us we’ve got 6 phones and a pair of iPads that are regularly charged in the bureau in the hall with an unbranded amazon charger and a vipers nest of excessively long cables of dubious eBay origin - it’s frankly only a matter of time before a fireball ensues

Phones are mostly iPhone with lightning connectors but there is a galaxy usb-c in the mix too.

I’d like something from a known quality manufacturer and a seller I can be sure isn’t selling unsafe knockoffs

What would STW recommend?

Also interested as I've got similar across one of the kitchen worktops... But with an extra heap of USB bike lights!

Plus whichever of their cables you need.

We've a few 4 port Anker chargers with their cables for this purpose. We always buy Anker chargers and cables. You can't trust Amazon to sell a genuine Apple or Samsung charger. We found one of the Anker chargers was faster at charging an Ipad Pro then the original.

Anker own a rather dubious CCTV provider that's just been caught out storing photos without consent and no back end security.
Not an issue for chargers but or power packs but eugghhh.
Their power banks are actually good and where my go to.

We too have a charger with 5 ports and wireless pad on top, 5cm or 10cm long cables of different colours so easy to spot, and a cupboard to still hide it in.
