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).

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.

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.
