wow, i gotta say that thing is awesome!!! i think that's a perfect desk solution since it can take up so little space. but a little pricey.

The only problem with expandable design is that you need to allow room for the expanded size, so on a day-to-day regular use basis, it doesn't really save any space at all. Something like this would be great for occasional use: perfect place for your kid to do his/her homework on the weeks you have visitation, for example.

This isn't for saving space, it's for looks. Some people need a desk but don't have a separate area for a home office. It's not easy to comfortably incorporate a "full sized" office desk into the living room or bedroom decor.

I agree with illegal danish. I could definitely see this working in my bedroom for when I need to do some with without it looking like a work space when I'm not using it. It is a little pricey, but it definitely has more storage, a better look and I'm sure better quality than the Ikea desk posted above. I love the filing cabinet hidden away in the bottom drawer.

I love the look of this desk and the chair looks like a really comfy alternative to an office chair. I saw an article recently talking about how office chairs are usually uncomfortable and bad for our backs over time and work places should start using more comfortable relaxed office chairs.
