Hi all,

I've worked out what I need in my office, and I wondered if anyone=20
knew anyone who made anything like it.

My aesthetic sense is sort of old. Think of me as a fat version=20
of "Rupert Giles" from Buffy. Interior design is pretty much the
same.

The office leans heavily towards wood and leather, and away from=20
metal.=20

My current desk is a 20th Century reproduction of the classic
"green=20
leather topped" desks that were popular about 100 years ago. It's=20
formed of two pedestals, sized to contain standard "filing cabinet=20
width" files in a deep drawer... plus a top section that has a big=20
centre drawer, two side drawers, and the obligatory green leather top.

It struck me that what would be REALLY nice would be if the pedestals=20
were, well 19" racks, but still in dark wood, with imitation drawer=20
fronts which hinged open in one piece.

Obviously, I'd also need a new top section that was wide enough to=20
span both pedestals and still have a wide enough gap between them=20
that I could sit normally.

If I had the skill of Graham Howe I could make something up... but I=20
don't. My skills lie in other directions :-)

Anyone know of a manufacturer of such things (or willing to undertake=20
a bespoke comission at deep discounted rates?)

Regards,

Mark
