I would think the client would put a piece of glass over the top to make it
smooth.

I think I'd like to have one with some road plates built into it. Then you
could build some little towns while you're on a conference call or something.
Image the person on the other end of the phone hearing you rattle through a
box of bricks.. ha!

I guess it would have to be glued if she was planning on sitting on it...

bump patterns and it would look pretty bad, plus it is not easy to write on.

First - I love the desk.

Second - I swear that last night I saw an article that mentioned that • Eric's
client was in Seattle but I can't seem to find the original.  I am in • Sweden
this week and between the time difference and really good bear, I may have
dreamed it up but in case I didn't - I couldn't help but think the the

and certainly has the cash for it).
