Anthro eNook vs IKEA PS- 04.09.08
Back in October of 2005, I wrote about Anthro’s new eNook, a thin, wall mounted laptop/charging hideaway… it was a brilliant idea, but with a $399 price tag, it was a bit steep to prioritize over buying a proper desk or chair… Well today i noticed that three years later Ikea has jumped on the design (oh ikea, *shakes head*), and in standard Ikea fashion, they moved the decimal point to $39. Far more tempting isn’t it? And while i don’t condone copying… at that price it is tempting to organize tech charging into a hidden box on the wall… See further comparison imagery below!
Big differences other than price?
eNook = Wood (and nice rounded corners for you to run into)
PS = Steel (and it looks like a locker)
Both = key/lock
Both = power strip in the bottom section!
I could totally see that red IKEA one in a garage above the rolling red powder coated steel craftsman drawers!
Hi, I’m with Anthro, manufacturer of the eNook, if price is a concern, I thought you’d be interested in our weekly special 10/13-19 on the eNook. Come check it out at www.anthro.com
