There's no problem as long as the things plugged in don't exceed the amperage of the receptacle or breaker.

Jeff,

That looks like it's permanently attached and not rated as a permanently attached fixture.

Wiring looks like its stapled to the wall to me. Does anyone think so?

I always write up NM cable on the exterior of drywall (gypsum board) anyway. Its not protected against damage.

I think this is what Rick H was referring to.
