If you were looking for a great charger, you should consider the amazing Wood Induction Charger which has been inspired by the Powermat charger which was famous last CES. The designer removed the guts from the Powermat office charging solution and instead used some hardwood and glued the guts of the Powermat back on the routed out wood.

The only hitch was, according to the designer, to get the wood thin enough to get a positive lock on the charging coils. The designer also added an industrial felt to the bottom on the wood so that it can be used as a storage space. The wood also would not scratch furniture on which it is kept. You could take a look at the video and see how cool it actually is.

I would have loved to get a charger like this myself, that too using wood. Wood certainly is better than other materials because it is green and environmentally friendly. Moreover, when you build something on your own, you get a different sense of satisfaction. You should try this yourself before you decide not to get it.
