A holder for accessories for electronic equipment, such as remote controls (RCs) (30) for televisions, VCRs, audio receivers, etc., and schedule or guidebooks (62) for such equipment comprises a cradle (56) of variable width and length for holding one or more RCs and an underlying holder (34) for the guidebook. The cradle comprises a plurality of L-shaped members (10U, 10L; 80U, 80L) whose long portions (12, 82) overlap to form the bottom of the cradle and are clampable together in a range of positions, e.g., by means of screws (18) or hook-and-loop (H&L) fasteners (22) or double-stick sided tape. The short portions (14, 84) of the L-shaped members stand upright in a spaced relation to form the sides of the cradle. Plural shorter L-shaped members can be used with a provision for adjustable spacing so that the length of the cradle can also be adjusted. The RC units are positioned on the floor of the cradle, side-by-side, and may be held thereto by means of H&L fasteners (24). The underlying guidebook holder may be used alone or it may be attached to the RC-holding cradle by H&L fasteners (32, 54, 79), double-stick-sided tape, or integrally. Additional holders may be stacked below the first one. It comprises a plurality of plates (36, 37, 38) with attached sides so as to form a rectangular cavity. The bottom of the cavity may be closed by end flaps (42, 46, 68) of the plates or by a clamp (70) or a torsion spring. The plates may be hinged and held together by a coil or torsion spring (72) such that they can be opened in clamshell fashion.
