1. A locker, comprising:
a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls;
a horizontal member extending at least partially between the sidewalls;
an inductive charger carried by the horizontal member and located such that an electronic device placed on the horizontal member may be charged by the charger; and
a visible indicia on the horizontal member indicating the location of the inductive charger;
wherein the horizontal member comprises:
an planar upper panel;
a planar lower panel; and
at least one pocket formed in the planar upper panel, the planar lower panel, or both the planar upper panel and the planar lower panel, the pocket being defined by the upper panel and the lower panel, the pocket being formed by fastening the planar upper panel to the planar lower panel;
wherein the inductive charger is disposed in the pocket;
wherein an individual may use the electronic device while placed on the inductive charger;
wherein the section of the planar upper panel above the pocket is removed and replaced with another material as a cover; and
wherein the planar upper panel is attached to the planar lower panel via one or more fasteners that pass through both the upper panel and the lower panel.
