Be careful.  This spring I found two of the hooks using command strtips pulled the vinyl off of the wall.  Make sure you are sticking the tape to wood.

Good call on the mounting tape!  Thanks for the extra info on them.

We've looked at those cup holders several times now.  They always seemed a bit flimsy at the store.

I guess they hold up pretty well to your coffee mugs?

I like the cup holders too.  Many times we've hung out on the bed reading and there's no good place for a drink to sit.

Your pod is looking more user friendly. I like your storage racks inside the door. You have done the same as I in using what scrap wood is on hand to make modifications.    David

The cup holders are a standard type for boats that you can find at any boating store. The whole thing folds flat against the wall, and the base flips down while the "holder" part flips up. The holder is adjustable to fit any size cup, bottle or can.

Nice orgs. Great work. I really like the cup holders. Where did you get them?
