    Yes, that's really something. For those who think "They don't make them like that anymore", check out this modern cabinet: http://www.woodweb.com/galleries/pro...osts/4661.html

    That is amazing. I cannot fathom the time to build it. Or the cost!

    That's nuts. The rotating game board, if that's what it is, was really over the top.

    I'd permanently lose my wallet and car keys in that desk.

    It is an amazing thing - but both far too ornate and complicated to be useful as a desk and far too European/pretentious to be anything but negative as a symbol of social success or importance for anyone in North America. I'm much more simple minded - see these desks made by my friend Keith Logan: http://www.keithlogan.com/Keith_Loga...ges/desks.html - they are clean, functional, beautiful.
