Cheap laminate floor too - and just look at the plumbing for the radiator...

I'd rather have a collection of Boson heads on the wall than that piece of hideous tat taking up floor space.

Edit:
Here are some examples of Bosson heads for those who've never seen them or are too young to remember...

ikea ?
B&B Italia. c. £1K depending upon finish.

Edit:
I'm sure Ikea will produce a £100 rip-off.
Yes, £100 for a table is a rip-off.

£1000 for a table? Does it suck your c0ck and do over time for you?

No?

Ahhhhhh, it has an easy charlie removal system finish to it...

Makes sense now...

I paid £30 for my coffee table (Glass) and I dropped a bed on it 4 years ago. Thing flexed about 3 inches. Still going strong.

Fsucks sake, £1000 for a table!!! '...Hand crafted with pubes from ex Ferrari F1 drivers....' or something.

It's a nice piece of wood with 4 angle brackets - it's not art and it's overpriced by about 900 quid.

I suppose a Caravaggio is just a nice picture?

Very good quality veneers, cast and polished legs, considered proportions and original design (as opposed one that's been copied) combined with a limited production run mean these products will never be sold for £30 or at an Ikea price tag.

I guess it depends upon the 'value' one puts upon one's living environment; it's not just a coffee table per se, it an objet d'art which makes the aesthetics of living more pleasurable.

Funny thing taste.

It's less a case of taste and more a case of disposable income burning a big hole - that and a need to surround oneself with stuff. How you choose to justify the purchase is up to you but the fact remains its an over priced coffee table.

For the record, I don't have one.

And it's not fact that it's an over-priced coffee table, it's your opinion it's an over-priced coffee table.

I would hope everyone on here could find better things to do with 1000 pounds.

Burning it in front of people with massive chips on their shoulders is always a favourite of mine
