Hi James,
Well since Laurie just busted my hope for free rides, here are some more thoughts.
Cliff is right and I tried to allude to that. The outlets should be unrestricted, thus the idea of a multi outlet power strip down the center (or two, but offset so the outlet is still unrestricted.
You should consider Ground Fault Interrupter outlets, so if somebody overloads the plug it won't blow the whole circuit (or injure them.)
How wide is the top? Wide enough for two laptops back-to-back?
Got your legal disclaimer signs in order? Not responsible for damage to you or your gadget. Don't leave gadget unattended.
Usage guidelines?
Don't stand here with your portable DVD plugged in to watch a movie.
Don't eat here (good luck with that one)
To save floor space, how about a vertical power station? That would eliminate all the problems that a flat surface invites (now that will cost you if you want a design.)
Oh yeah, better branding: Recharge with LUV, and they gotta be orange and blue with winglets.
OK, I may be back with more later.

You should have installed more outlets. One slightly oversize charger box can kill two outlets, so sometimes this station will only serve two people.
Also looks like outlets won't handle vertical chargers.
The outlets should be on top of the table - perhaps a power strip down the center of the table.
Put hooks underneath for laptop bags and purses so they don't clutter the top or bottom.
Did anyone really THINK about the design? Or just throw something together to see what kind of reaction was generated.
Tell you what, I'll design it for you, and you give me ten free roundtrips.
