The caddy’s main pouch measures roughly 13.5 inches wide, 9.5 inches high, and 2.5 inches deep. That’s big enough to house both of my laptops and my 592-page The New York Times Mega Book of Sunday Crosswords simultaneously, at just under 8.5 pounds total. (According to the caddy’s Amazon listing, it can hold up to 20 pounds.)
Even with all of those items, the Youdenova caddy still has enough space left over to tuck in a few more items into the main pouch, like a tube of hand cream, some pens, a sleep mask, and a pair of glasses. If you have an outlet nearby, the caddy’s two bottom corners each feature a little opening where a cord can snake through and charge a device as it’s stashed away.
The one drawback to the caddy’s storage capabilities is that its pockets, which each measure about 5.5 inches square, aren’t as functional as I’d like them to be. They’re shallow, for starters: Just slipping my hand into them proves to be a tight fit. On the plus side, they seem almost custom-designed for a smartphone—mine slips in and out of each exterior pocket easily, without shifting around or getting lost. I also have a small remote control for my ceiling fan that fits into the front pockets with ease. However, if I had one of those brick-sized TV remotes, I think I’d be out of luck. (As for the interior pockets, they’re difficult to access when you have stuff stashed in the caddy’s main pouch. I never use them.)
Once my Youdenova caddy was in place, I found that it was super easy to reach my arm over the side of the bed and grab a device, a book, a pen, or the like without even looking or lifting my head off my pillow. It’s like having a personal valet, and it’s a lot better than sifting through the precarious stacks of stuff that used to overwhelm my nightstand.
