HAHA! Archie, I thought the same thing. And then realized that it was just an unfortunate looking phone. :)

IKEA has two different GUSTAV desks. Not sure how well they hold up, but they look clean and simple, with just a touch of personality. I'm thinking about replacing my $25 POS desk with one of the GUSTAV desks.

Wow that was funny. I of course scrolled back up to see what I had "missed" in that photo. I laughed out loud for sure. And yes, that's an unfortunate looking phone.

I have the CB2 Trig desk and its great. I love it! It's a great size but mine has a keyboard tray that I leave my other laptop on and slide out.

Very easy to put together!

I was having a hard time trying to find a narrow width desk for my bedroom and I just ended up using the Malm bedside table from Ikea.

That phone's a classic! I used to collect them from Ebay.

BTW does anyone know where the console/desk in the 1st pic comes from? The mirror looks amazing too - but I'm sure the price tag's just as impressive.

The console/desk in the first pic is the Morton from Graham and Greene which is an English company. I doubt they ship but you never know!
