Living in Puerto Rico, I was saddened to learn that their larger furniture does not ship out here. But I splurged (on the shipping) and <B>did</B> purchase the desk, having it "forwarded" to my address from the states. It is now waiting to be assembled while I finish fixing up the room it is destined to adorn. My new dilemma: <B>what's the best chair to compliment the desk?</B> The desk has the black lacquer finish, and the room's avocado-green walls are off set with black-and-white decor.His Decemberisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804295273541974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-43474882350202238512007-10-12T11:05:00.000-07:002007-10-12T11:05:00.000-07:00What about the Loop Desk from Crate& Barrel.?

I'm hoping it was a fluke. I don't love love the drawer pulls but i'll deal with that later. I also looked at the west elm ones you posted, but have had issues with their furniture in the past. Also, along your walnut theme, if you budget allows, check out the Kyoto desk from Crate & Barrel. Really pretty, but about $1,000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-54189623000712492992007-10-11T21:24:00.000-07:002007-10-11T21:24:00.000-07:00Thanks, Camille -- the R&B desk is a great alterna...Thanks, Camille -- the R&B desk is a great alternative!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587662940285887833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-52174821857472725472007-10-11T20:47:00.000-07:002007-10-11T20:47:00.000-07:00This may still not be in your price range, but it'...This may still not be in your price range, but it's cheaper than $2000: http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product.do?method=get&id=505092&coll=4046022&cat=49<BR/><BR/>Not featured in the pic, but it does come in walnut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-44899635045043930892007-10-11T09:21:00.000-07:002007-10-11T09:21:00.000-07:00The British need to stop making all that gorgeous ...The British need to stop making all that gorgeous stuff that I just can't have! <BR/>I've been on the hunt for a very small desk (max. 40in width) and let me tell you it's not going well.
