Also, if you are using the charger plugged into the wall to hang the holder from- most chargers continue to use electricity-even when they are not charging- definitely want to use the hook above the outlet and unplug when you are done charging to save energy.

I think the desk you have chosen to convert to a TV stand is perfect.

I disagree with the comments that it will look always look like a desk. Once you have it in place, have moved the shelving and added the shelf below, it will look like it was always a TV stand.
Good choice! Don't second guess. Just go for it.

Try these tips:
Open Up. In the cooler evening and early morning hours, open your windows instead of using air conditioning. Open windows on opposite sides of the house to create cross-ventilation. Use a window fan, blowing toward the outside, to pull cool air in through other windows and to push hot air out. As the day warms, you may find that you feel more comfortable with windows and coverings closed against direct sunlight.

Adjust Your Schedule. On hot days, delay heat-producing tasks, such as dishwashing, baking, or doing laundry, until the cooler evening hours or early morning.

Seal It. Keep cool air in and hot air out: Caulk around window and door frames, use weather stripping on exterior doors, and have a knowledgeable contractor properly seal gaps where air can travel between the attic and your living space.

Use Fans. Use your range hood fan to remove hot air from your kitchen while cooking. The savings in your cooling costs will far outweigh the electricity use of the fan. Also, use a bath fan to remove heat and moisture generated by showers.

Lighten Up. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). Incandescent light bulbs lose 90% of their energy as heat. CFLs operate cooler and cost you less to use because more of their energy is used to produce light, and less is lost as heat.

Shop Smart. When buying air conditioners, choose the smallest ENERGY STAR® qualified unit appropriate for the size of room you're cooling. Oversized models can be less effective at reducing uncomfortable humidity and they cost more to operate.

Clean and Maintain. Fill gaps along the sides of your air conditioner to keep outside air from leaking in. Remember to clean air conditioner filters regularly and keep the front and back of air conditioners unobstructed.
