$899 for an Apple/iMac matching Desk?!

Mr Jones · 22 Mar 2008 at 16:16

Would you pay for that?

As nice as it looks, I think 120GBP is the max I'd pay for a desk like that. Roughly 470GBP for that?!

What do you think?

Looks quite attractive but it's way too small and trying too hard

NathanE · 22 Mar 2008 at 16:19

No way!

And after spending all that cash the worse thing is that you are left with a desk which seemingly doesn't match the computer on it at all? :confused:

Yeah it looks nice but I'd never have it in my house, just looks, too nerdy lol

For the price I definitely wouldn't. I'd expect it to be around £200+ though but if its from a single designer then there's no surprise he/she is charging near £500

No chance. I'd spend £500 on a chair before I spent over £200 on a desk. And I'd want a huge desk for that.

500GBP chair?! It better be ome special one that can give you a back-rub e.t.c.

If it's the real deal, the chair in the picture costs over £500 in the UK

Although I think it looks good I'd go to the scrap yard and try to make one myself before paying that.

Yup do it clarkson style - although I have to admit the more I look at it the more I like it!

It looks far too small to do any real work on - great as a "iMac desk" I suppose but for that much money I'd want something that was both elegant and practical.

MagicBoy · 22 Mar 2008 at 17:21

Does it include the vase?

electric ant · 22 Mar 2008 at 17:32

The cheap looking white plastic feet look really out of place. Not very practical either as theres very little actual desk space.

No I just think it's retarded to spend a grand on a computer and sit on a £50 Argos fake-leather chair for hours on end. I'm working my way up to an Aeron

It's far to small!!!

A desk NEED's to have stuff on it, and more than a keyboard

A mouse?

I like it, i also really like how the cable management is all done internally in it too to keep it clean. I just think 1, it is too small and 2 it is too expensive.
But to put in the corner of a living room/dining room when a lot of people don't have a room for computers i can see it being very nice with an iMac on it.
If it was 150 it would sell loads i think.

PardonTheWait · 22 Mar 2008 at 19:30

Those edges would really hurt your arms... Looks good though.

Adrianr · 22 Mar 2008 at 19:39

2 peices of bent brushed steel for 500 smacks? Try again!

LordSplodge · 22 Mar 2008 at 20:33

How easy would it be to do Homebrew version? Looks great but costs a stupid amount. A little too small as well.

Big Bernard · 23 Mar 2008 at 12:02

You'd think they'd finish plastering the walls first before shelling out on that desk...
