EDU Eames Desk  

Once upon a time
I was considering the Eames desk, but if I bought it, I would've had to install a pull out keyboard drawer (I have a desktop), and I wasn't sure I wanted to do a number on something as valuable as a new EDU desk. So I opted for the (now discontinued) Blue Dot Paperclip desk. I works out well, but it's not quite the level of style I had wanted, but it does have a pull out keyboard drawer and works well with my Aeron chair (I keep the chair in the highest position....)
If you don't mind screwing-in a pullout keyboard drawer for your EDU, I say go for it. It will look beautiful in your home.
Also, take a look at the other Herman Miller Lifestyles pieces that they're pushing, although I don't like much of it myself.

Hi looked at the other...
Hi looked at the other Herman Miller desks, but the Eames is the nicest one. I also like the size of the EDU desk (as a College teacher, I need lots of space!). Herman Miller makes nice pull out keyboard drawer that might works.
Thanks.

Love the Eames Desk
Seriously considered it a few years back. It's fine for typing on top of (as opposed to a pull out keyboard) altho I'm sure other would argue that it's not ergonomically correct. If you really want the keyboard tray I don't think a couple of screw holes would do much damage to the desk. Just make sure you don't pop out the top!
The only reason I didnt get it was monetary. Instead I found a Offi Wave desk on Craigslist for $100. (pretty, but wobbly as hell)
Oh, and definitely get it in primary colors. The ESUs just look so sad and bland in the neutral color schemes.

Here's what I got
it's the Blu Dot Paperclip desk.
Not too expensive (discontinued, but you can still find it), but I like it alot.

Hi. I think the EDU desk is...
Hi. I think the EDU desk is just a fantastic design and would be perfect with the Aeron chair (the best ever chair I've got). The primary colors make the desk more attractive and more interesting. I can't believe in am getting into mid-century modern... I only had Arts & Crafts furniture 5 years ago!

Welcome
Welcome to Modern - but be careful! Modern starts with one piece, and all of a sudden you're writing a check for 16M to buy the Neutra house in Palm Springs!

I got my Eames desk today!
Hi. I finally got my EDU desk today. The only problem I have now is that I see all the wires! It doesn't look as clean as the picture from Herman Miller!
I posted some pics. The floor lamp is Artemide.

Nice
You could use some velcro straps to tidy up the cords.

I used some tie-wrap...
I used some tie-wrap (black)... When I am sitting at the desk it is fine, but when I am sitting on my reading chair, the only thing I see are the wires!!!

Congratulations, Benoît...

Get a wireless mouse and keyboard. As for the monitor powercord, perhaps run it under the desktop?

The glass top is ordered!
Should be in next week!
