Sexy industrial desk magic

I made a pre-baby run to IKEA yesterday, and while I was yet again disappointed with their child furniture options, I noticed this along the way. (Not to worry, despite that disappointment we still managed to spend a boatload on new storage cabinets for the garage. I'm being subjected to a major filing/organization project by the cruel taskmaster, aka my husband.)

Back to the desk - I hadn't seen it before, online or off, and I'm here to tell you it's really sexy. A stainless desk that has the sturdiness and texture of industrial with the sexy curvy legs? Love. True love.

I wish the picture did it more justice - it really does look great "in person." And yeah, $140. I mean, really. What a find.

I just bought 5 of these tables. I love the look of them! I am not worried about scratching, as I have a steel table I bought at the Conran shop years ago that is scratched and it looks like a patina. The cool thing about these tables is I bought all 5 for less than the price I paid for the Conran table. The bad thing is that the predrilled holes are not made for the table top, which makes no sense to me since they show the metal curved legs with the metal tabletop in the catalog and stores. I emailed Ikea since I don't have a power drill and have no idea how to use one! Maybe I will have a handyman come over and do it. It just sucks cuz it is such a gorgeous look but it cannot be assembled the way it comes.
