The Sjömärke Charger is Ikea's newest wireless charging station. The wireless Qi standard charger is discreet. Users can easily attach the wireless device to the underside of a flat piece of furniture like a desk or a table to create a charging surface without taking up surface real-estate.
Easy to install, the Sjömärke Charger works best with material between 3/8 and 7/8 of an inch thickness levels. Ikea urges users to remember not to stick the device to metal surfaces, as wireless chargers cannot correctly function through metal. The Qi wireless charging pad helps minimize loose cables, thereby reducing the appearance of clutter to help users create an organized living space. Users can position the charger where needed.
