Powerpoles done right are wonderful. (I drink the Powerpole koolaid)  Properly done they are one of the least expensive 30 amp connectors at $1 per connector. A simple tie- rap, piece of large solder, short 'U' made of 14G wire, or even 1/2 inch staple between the holes will keep the from coming un-done.

Refrain from futzing around the back of the desk!
