Way too many tiny screens. I'd rather have a few 20s, or one 30.

You randomly edit and delete posts in the Feedback Lounge, and you don't even remember. Scary.

That desk is too much. It tries to be a cable organizer, storage and file cabinet and more and if you dig that sort of thing, you might like it, but I find it a little over bearing. I just like the clean lines of a simple and sturdy wooden desk. While some here knock IKEA desks, and some of them are garbage and poorly constructed, I have had my desk from them for over a year now and it is the sturdiest and most functional piece of furniature I've owned in a long time. I've owned desks from many different companies over the years and I feel like I've got exactly what I payed for and more.

The MILK desk is an interesting concept, but I don't think it is targeting the average user.

For some really nice desks, look at Hülsta. They are made in Germany but have an office in New York. I have my home office in Europe done with their stuff... very top notch.

Yeah, right, ALWAYS.

Somehow I just doubt that this was just a "report abuse" issue. Whatever.

I just got a jerker also to replace my old ikea desk. For the meager $100 this desk cost it is totally worth it even if it doesn't last more than a few years.

I will say that my current desk was free. My dad made it for me. Its very simple, but gets the job done, and looks pretty unique. I don't have any pics right now. But maybe, if you're all good, I'll post some later on.

But I still like that Milk desk. I also like a lot of the others you guys have posted. Can't wait until I get rich and can afford to throw bundle of cash at a sweet desk.
