i plan to buy this table top:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60103608

i am looking at the available legs and saw these:
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50107471

has anyone seen them set up in the store? Not sure if they will be sturdy enough to hold up a 32" tv, monitor, laptop, etc...

or there is this one...
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40134371

what do you guys think?

i would say get the $30 dollar one.

it will only cost your $30 more dollars, and just by the looks of it you can tell it is a lot sturdier

the desk is so empty because my monitor, tv, xbox, etc. is all at college. But I came home for the weekend and bought 2 vika amon's and whatever the $5 legs are called. nice 8foot desk for only $80.

This was my first time in ikea, they have some pretty kick ass stuff.

Forget college -- you are too cool for school.

the bed in King is $299 + the cost of the slatted base (about another $60) and the mattress. the jerker desk is $99 but the Ikea in Stoughton has it crossed off and marked at $79, so i do not know if they are discontinuing it or what, i hope not since i cannot buy it until June. the bookcase in that size is $179.

your from MA? where about?

coincidence i'm asking my parents for a desk from IKEA and i told them there's one in stoughton. i live in MA as well :p

It is Sheppard Fairey.
Most of his prints are pretty expensive.

As stated before, he did start the Obey Movement. Youtube Sheppard Fairey and you can find the video interview of him talking about the Obey Movement and how it started.

Many people are turning away from his work lately due to his lack of originality. He likes to take a lot of work from others and add his own twist, then slap the obey face on it somewhere.

I personally like his work, he is like a modern day Andy Worhal!

10 points to anyone who knows whose face the Obey face was modeled after!

it looks to me like the art of Shepperd Fairey, he was the creator of the obey giant movement

Heres a link to his website.

2 of the posted are
Duality of humanity 1
Duality of humanity 3
unfortunately both are sold out :(

correct. the middle one is called Guns and Roses - Offset

I am a huge collector of shepard fairey, along with dave kinsey, and a new artist who goes by the name FrePrs aka Samuel Lowder

It is Sheppard Fairey.
Most of his prints are pretty expensive.

His prints are actually very cheap. They range from $35-50 for editions of 350-450. But we battle every week for prints, it usually takes no more than 30minutes for prints to sell out, and their server is always crashing, which sometimes leads to 14hours trying to get through lol. But as soon as you get a print, the ebay value of it is rediculous. $200+. I bought an Obama Progress for $35, it now sells on ebay for $5,000

"snobbish and dickish" is not calling me both? Get real, will you.


Are you an imbecile, or what?

See how that works? One cannot pretend accusations phrased as rhetorical questions suddenly are real question.
But one thing is for certain, you really don't take well to people who aren't in utter awe of your splendor. I'm truly amazed – you even think that I gave you criticism, when all I did was have some fun with semi-mono set up, because I figured you simply didn't have the space to make it wider, or perhaps just figured it looked good.




Haha, what a joke. Playing the good old victim, aren't we? Yes, it was "random", as I just noticed this thread. I hadn't seen it before, and yours was the last set up posted. You're on a bloody public forum – don't you think it would be horrendously stupid to expect people NOT to agree with something, NOT to post about something someone else said, UNLESS they trawled the forum and ONLY targeted the "worst"?
As I said before – this time emphasized by you playing a victim: Grow some skin, will you?



Ah, yes, I commented on your audio setup because you didn't have ikea furniture. Please … :rolleyes:

P.S. I'm from Denmark, and here Ikea is considered "cheap crap" – nothing we actually "want", but rather as intermediate stuff, until we can get something proper. Haha, "targeting" you because it wasn't ikea :p

Yup, he's a dick. And for the record, my surround sound isn't setup correctly either and I don't give a crap.

I feel sorry for the fact that you have nothing better to do than troll around. Move on, tard.
