Pop up sockets - if you've had them for a while

If you have pop up sockets on a kitchen island, do they look broken or wonky after a few years? The few I've seen seem to be. So if you have pop up sockets on an island, do you still love it or not? Do they look as good as the day they were fitted? Smile

Mine still looks and works the same as it did 4 years ago! Think it depends on the make tho, will try and find a link

Ours is still perfect, after 8 years, will try and find where they came from.

Hmm I can't find the make of ours, but it looks rather like his one. They were quite unusual when we did our kitchen, much more widely available now I think. We usually leave ours up with chargers plugged in, only out it down when tidying for visitors!

Mine are up all the time, still look like new after 3 years.

Mine is down usually, just pull it up to use. BUT IT IS FAB!! Love it, had it 8 years now.

Our other kitchen sockets are under the kitchen wall units so they can't be seen. We haven't met anybody who has these but they are so simple!

Our first set were b&Q and they died after about 3 years. The set we have now we've had about 18 months. They have 3 socket spaces and 2 USB spaces. Which are brilliant but think they may be on the blink.
