Levenger. Writing Desk/accessories

[VladDracule]

Hello All,

 

Ive been looking to get a couple of things for work/home.

 

First off, is the editors desk still available? http://www.levimage.com/pdf/Editor'sDesk_FA4195.pdf

 

I cant find it on their webpage anywhere. If its not is there an equivalent item from someone else?

 

Also does anyone have any experience with the following sets/individual items?

They appear to have discontinued it. Lately, they have discontinued the items I was saving for. Very frustrating. In fact, they've dropped so many things that I wonder if they're in trouble.

Levenger_Outlet is a seller on ebay, and they have something similar to the Editor's Desk listed.

You might also try calling them to see if they can locate one for you.

 

There are also a couple of similar multi-level desks on Amazon.

I have several of the desk items. I have the unifer, desk pad and in-box. All are quite good quality. I like the unifer organizer quite a lot.

 

We completely redecorated our study a few years a go and had some nice walnut furniture custom made to fit the small space. Once we did that, our old, cheap desk stuff just looked horrible. A great example of unanticipated add-on expenses. But it looks great.

I have the editor's desk. I just bought it from ebay. They turn up there and on craigslist from time to time. I got mine for less than $50 but they usually sell for about $100. I also have the Writer's Oasis that I purchased new. They are very different. The editor's desk is really large and study the writer's oasis isn't but it can be adjusted to various levels.

I have complained to the manager of my local store about how they are constantly discontinuing popular items and she said it was a problem for her as well. She has worked for the company for a long time and they are constantly dropping items and bringing in new items. She didn't seem too happy about it either since she gets to deal with all the complaints.

 

The editor's desk has been discontinued for quite a while. It doesn't mean they will not dig one up and put it for sale in the ebay outlet but I would be surprised. Still it can be had if you're willing to go to craigslist or ebay.

 

Here's a listing on ebay currently: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Levenger-Editors-Reading-Tabletop-Desktop-Desk-Large-25-DK-Wood-Wooden-14-lbs-/111356009340?pt=US_Desks_and_Home_Office_Furniture&hash=item19ed55db7c

I have the low angle version of this slope at work, if you like the angle it would be worth what they are asking.

This might be late, but Levenger has 3 retail stores. I'm pretty sure I saw a fountain pen at the Chicago location that is no longer in the online True Writer line. Wish I'd really looked at it because I might would have bought it.

1+ their last couple of catalogs seem to concentrate on leather bags & cases rather than on desk & writing accessories.

I have an Editor's Desk and have used it maybe twice in the 10 years I've owned it. I just can't seem to find the right place to put it to use it. I think that's largely because it adds height and I need to have a chair with an adjustable height (I prefer wood chairs that don't adjust, my desk was adjusted to fit my chair at home).

 

It's beautiful and I love it so much but it just doesn't seem to work for me.

I don't think they are in trouble. They sent an email with a survey. I took it. It was about loyalty cards. So it seems like they might be working on a loyalty program.
