Okay, so this is not so much a time life stool as much as it is “inspired” by one. The wood is not as nice and I don’t think the proportions are exact. But, in a darkly lit room, and for $400 less than the original, it would pass.

And other finishes/tops are available(!). For this price, “custom” isn’t a dirty word.

So everyone’s abuzz about this table for so many very good reasons. Right now, it’s a tiny too bit expensive (see price below) for me to say that you should go out and buy it, but man, we can all appreciate it while waiting for a more affordable version to grace our retail worlds. It’s in limited production currently (and therefore available through Unica).

So- ignore the crap on this table and pay attention to the lines. Suprisingly affordable too.

Natural with navy edge.

What’s amazing about this small trolly/side table is that it is available in more than 200 colors…so, if you need a particular specific shade, you’re in luck.

Painted solid steel with castors.

At 65″ wide, this desk is comparitively one big mutha for the money. Work surface is important, you know, for your multiple projects and such. And, Edge Modern offers a 30-day money back guarantee on it.

Cherry or Maple veneer

This table is similar in style to you-know-who’s you-know-what table, but much smaller and much less expensive. And maybe not so obvious.

Black metal frame w/glass top.

Now, here’s a desk for limited space…at 34″ wide, you can fit it in a closet if you so desire (though you might not want to since it looks so nice). It’s got a roll-out keyboard tray and a hole in the back to put your unsightly wires through.

Available in white, fire engine red, and risk-averse grey.

Update: This item is no longer available through original retailer.

Limited space? Limited budget? Ta-da! Here you go.

Turntable, white lacquered.

This one might not be the best for those of you with poor organizational skills, or maybe it would, but you’d have to spring for some kind of storage…But, it looks quite nice. DWR also provides an option to buy a keyboard system thingy ($198) to install underneath.

Maple veneer top or black-painted MDF; powder-coated tubular steel legs on casters.

Made from solid cork (full points for being a renewable resource), these are great pieces. Fun and sculptural. Designed by Jasper Morrison.

“The sponginess of the cork makes for comfortable seating in a lobby, living area or child’s room. Lightweight and easy to handle, both the stool and table have a sculptural quality, and also look great stacked.”

This desk might win a contest for decent design at a reasonable price. It’s solid birch with veneer and a powder coat tubular steel frame. Desk includes a keyboard drawer, cord management solution and a hidden storage area.

I once saw an old original for almost 3x the price of this one- and it was a little beat up. I’m all for originals, and I really am into buying from nice and small resale shops, but sometimes saving money is slightly more important.

See, here. This table you can rest your feet on, or maybe put your laptop on, or something else altogether.

Molded Plywood w/removable pad

Yep. This is it. Good design at a very reasonable price. Made of solid Yompa wood, it’s substantial and looks like quality. Could live in the livingroom or bedroom quite easily.

Available in a natural, espresso, or white finish
