While that small desk does appeal to me, I'm a bit sick of seeing all these "small office solutions" that can barely contain a laptop, much less the files, office equipment, books, and other miscellany of a typical home office. I know I have more equipment than average because I'm in a creative field, but I've yet to see an elegant, space-efficient solution that could even begin to contain a printer, scanner, dual displays, cpu tower, filing cabinet, recycling bin, and some repository for all the notes, clippings, letters, etc that cycle through a normal office space.

I mean, c'mon...does anyone with a home office really get by with a spiral notebook, magazine file, and a small cup with color-coordinated pencils?
