Yes. i did notice the great finish. The best part is the artwork on the desk that doubles as a map to find the USB port. One can only hope to one day be as as clever.

HAD to have been an IKEA designer.

Is it called Würthlüz Pýcø Cráp?

Man I love those impossible to pronounce IKEA names for furniture.

Looks like a late 80s Ikea design. They made a classic looke even better by introducing it into the digital age.

 IKEA

LMAO

First time I saw their stuff I said "Its amazing the crap you can sell of you just come up with a good line of BS"

Now 20 something years later I look at the stuff and say
"Its amazing the crap you can sell of you just come up with a good line of BS"

If you like IKEA design or not is one thing, but you cant deny that its one of the greatest success stories ever in the business world.

I have plenty of their products and they are of good quality at a decent price. I have a mix of IKEA and old furniture in my office, and the missus use only IKEA products in hers. Nothing wrong with any of them if you stay away from the cheapest stuff.

I would end up hitting it with something & breaking the connector off flush with the desk.

 I don't know how many times my dog or kid or wife (or me) tripped over a cord & yanked a USB plug out of my Dell; fortunately they had designed them facing downward at a 45 degree angle & they would just unplug. My new P/C has the front USB hubs going straight in, so I don't even use them.

 P.S. my dog HAS to lay at my feet & on the right side because I trained her to heel on the right side, she will accept no other place to lay, I move, she moves, she moves USB moves :lol

Yeah, design is a love it or hate it kind of thing.  Have bought a few things there (actually, the then-wife took me there, she chose and I paid) a china hutch and a dinner table.  Average quality, nothing stunning.  One of the legs on the table still doesn't fit right even after getting a replacement from the store.

The last retail store I worked at had a break room dinner table and chairs from IKEA.  Spray paint over bare wood.  Needless to say after about 2 months it looked like something Esteban would have designed (if you don't know about Esteban guitars look em up.  Cheap Chinese made crap, we're talking fake rosewood fingerboards, spray painted black to look like rosewood only the paint comes off after only a little playing.).  So for the rest of the time I worked there that table and chairs went from black to a natural pine-tone with intermittant splotches of black paint that hadn't rubbed off.  And some of the chairs were assembled incorrectly at the factory.

But they do have really awesome Swedish meatballs at the cafeteria in the store.  That's why I went all those times.  She shopped, I ate.  Fair trade to me.

IKEA reminded me of KMart that somehow got a trendy rep. The meatballs were ok but not worth a second trip.
