We got the Ikea Alve secretary desk, great price, very minimal lines, we got it in red for a fun color and you can close it up to hide all the stuff! http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11477 I had the same situation, we always kept a computer in the living room and i just didn’t want all of the cords and everything out on the coffee table all the time… We got the Ikea Alve secretary desk, great price, very minimal lines, we got it in red for a fun color and you can close it up to hide all the stuff! http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId=11477

Anyway it looks the same as the one we bought at HE. It's not huge, but it's a solid little desk. Wall-mounted is cool, but it may not be a winner if you have a CRT screen. If you have an LCD, mount it on the wall and plop a keyboard in front of it. I think the West Elm desk is the same one sold at the now-defunct Hold Everything.

I actually have a kittycat loft that uses the same technique, I just never thought about incorporating it into this type of project. Love, love, love your work space, btw!

Well, ok, maybe not on my floor anymore, not after a few near misses with sliding across the room! But the wipes work great on the Crate & Barrel desk, and I got a nifty <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=77385&PRODID=71000" rel="nofollow">cloth</a> from The Container Store to dust my computer and other electronics.

It's *very* sturdy!
