I’ve finally replaced most of my ratty furniture from college, but am still on the hunt for a desk. I fell in love with Jonathan Adler’s gorgeous Channing, but unfortunately I don’t think it would be too fiscally responsible of me to spend the better part of a month’s rent on a desk. Sigh, bills really cramp my decorating style! Yesterday, while browsing at World Market, I came across one of their newest arrivals, the Josephine. Very similar to my beloved Channing but for a fraction of the price! No, it doesn’t have the sleek chrome legs or lucite drawer pulls but for only $199 I’d have enough left over to buy some great desk accessories to style it up!
Ooohhh….so cute! I love the classic x-frame. I need to revisit World Market!! xo Kelly
Great find! You are right, with a classy drawer pull and your cute desk accessories it would look so good. I could see the legs maybe getting a glossy coat of black paint.
I loooove the cheaper version! It’s got a parsons desk flair to it… now if only i had room for more furniture in my apt!
We recently used chrome paint to refresh a few event props and side tables. I loved it! Wonder if you could paint the legs of the world market desk to get the look you originally wanted?
Love, Love! Can’t wait to see how you style it
Yes, yes, yes! Great lookalike! I love that JA desk!
Honestly, I think it’s a fantastic steal! I love love love the legs on both versions. So lucky.
and THAT is why i love world market. i think the josephine is great – and a perfect canvas for those stylish desk accessories. happy shopping!
I love this!!And World Market has a ten dollar off coupon right now!

Great find..You could easily drill a hole and add a knob! Can’t wait to see it styled.
Love it, Lindsay! Spray paint those legs metallic silver and add some chunky chrome hardware to the drawer.
GREAT find!!!! Will be so cute for your home!

I’ve seen great desks at World Market before – it’s a hidden gem for inexpensive home items!
I might even like Josephine better!
X marks the spot…very nice!
world market has been ON FIRE lately!
