I am posting this for a friend without access to the net.
First, do any of you out there on the net own a MacTable
by Scandinavian Computer Furniture? (They say it
can accommodate everything that goes with the Mac)
Secondly, is it a good product (good materials, smart
construction)?
Finally, how much did you pay for it, is it available
through mail-order places, and if so could you give me a
phone number for this place?
I apologize if this subject has been brought up before, I
have not seen mention of this product, so I decided to
post and then put on my flame-proof long underwear.
Please email me, and if there is a significant number of replys I
will summarize and post.

(They say it > can accommodate everything that goes with the Mac) Yes, and have for about a year now. It is one of their earlier larger ones -- 60" wide x 30" deep by ~28" high. Tons of room, and probably the most reliable piece of hardware I've ever bought (certainly the best looking). > Secondly, is it a good product (good materials, smart > construction)? Excellent materials -- or at leas the older model is. Easy to clean, and the wood is probably the best I've seen in a computer table. The main thing is, it has plenty of room and more for the Mac and for drawing, and it is beautiful (and I don't find furniture beautiful very often). They have either an alternative model or have decided to make them smaller -- the ones I see now are about 40" wide (which makes sense in a lot of cases -- mine looks a little like a drafting board). I got it put together (it comes unassembled) in about 3 hours. The directions are not the worst (this was not the first piece of Scandanavian furniture I'd assembled), but they weren't great. > Finally, how much did you pay for it, is it available > through mail-order places, and if so could you give me a > phone number for this place? That's a bit trick -- I got mine for about $350, but ScanCoFurn is Seattle, I know the president of the company (he's in the local Mac User's group, of which I am a member), and he's been giving discounts on them to members whenever he is a little overstocked. I know that I got mine for at least $30 off. The smaller models are probably cheaper, though. ScanCoFurn is probably not selling to mail order, as they have practically become a mail-order business themselves (the warehouse is out in Kent, WA, while the offices are in Seattle). Ah, just looked at the ad in MacUser -- there are two sizes, wide and a smaller model. $399 for the large, $339 for the small. They do ship it to you; number is 800-722-6263. Wouldn't hurt to mention my name; the guy in charge's name is Soren Storm. Probably should say this: I have no financial affiliation of any kind with ScanCoFurn, except as someone who owns and likes their tables.
