Cute 'Woofy' Dog Hides Cables

Designer Gabriel Nigro was sick and tired of the "cable spaghetti" on his floor when he came up with Woofy, a cute cable concealer that happens to be shaped like an adorable puppy. The injection moulded piece is perfect for an office, living room and even a child's play area.

Nigro is quoted as saying: "have always been irritated at the sight of cables lying everywhere and ending up as cable spaghetti on the floor. So I came up with Woofy. In my opinion, the thing you buy for the home should add something more to it than just functionality - and that is what Woofy does."

Woofy costs about $200 and doesn't shed fur, need to be walked or fed. I'm in love.

    Cute but I wouldn't use it. It's a bit too big and bulky for hiding cables.

    I would rather step over all my cords than pay $200 for a plastic dog.

    i think that those zip-ties are a lot easier. i can imagine paying $200 for a woofy and then having to fight like blazes to get the one cord out i need to replace!

    i'm with nitro. where's the meowy!?

    its a cool idea, but it looks so cheap. for 200 it better do some major multitasking, maybe it could pick up my real dogs poo.

    $200 seems a bit much. I can live with a lot of cables for that much!

    I have this rule that if the advertisement for a product uses improper grammar, I cannot purchase it. In their description of this item they said: His fur is smooth and doesn't cause allergies or wet the floor.

    Now, the only way I will buy this product is if they can find a dog whose fur will wet my floor.

    Even then.. waste of money.

    too expensive. and i'm with alillee. It's too big and plastic-y and almost draws attention that you're hiding something. Plus cables can still stick out of it. Which makes it a bit obvious it's there to conceal cables. way too expensive too.

    I hate "cable spaghetti" too but $200? Seriously? Enough people are going to buy it to make it profitable? Seriously?

    It's cute but overpriced. I imagine within 6-9 months we will see similar creations come out of a place like Target - and they will be lowered priced and have a few options for style. I am thinking perhaps some hollow sculptural type pieces and not necessarily animals.
