As others have said, there is a major communication hurdle you need to solve.
To pick a page at random, consider http://www.nomiddleman.co/products/executive-desk-sz1509 http://www.nomiddleman.co/products/executive-desk-sz1509
I have some UX questions for you:
1. What are the dimensions of the desk?
2. What does the desk look like on the other side (eg the side the user will see every day)? Does it have drawers? A keyboard trey?
3. What is the desk surface like? Will I need to use coasters for my drinks? Does it show fingerprints?
I consider those basic questions when considering a table, but from the information you provide I can't answer them. You don't even provide a brand name, so I can't search for other sites which might be able to tell me.
For comparison, check out http://www.smartfurniture.com/products/BDI-Sequel-Desk.html http://www.smartfurniture.com/products/BDI-Sequel-Desk.html I've chosen them because I bought my current desk from them (though the link I've sent is a random desk to be a fair comparison). From the product description and copious photos, you can easily answer the above questions. You also get a sense for what it's like living with the desk (what it will look like in different configurations, how you'll manage cabling with it, how hard it is to clean / how to clean it, etc). Although you can't exactly buy from SmartFurnature knowing you'll love the product, you can get a pretty good idea of what it would be like to live with it. They also have a clearly outlined return policy if things go wrong.
Okay, I think that hopefully communicated the core of my feedback for you: start doing UX tests of your product pages. Ask your users "What would it be like to use this desk?" and keep iterating until you get accurate answers.
(Also, if you haven't seen it, peek.usertesting.com will give you a couple free 5 minute tests per month. The detail provided by a full step-by-step recording of a user's confusion is IME often extraordinarily more helpful than critiques like mine)
- dogweather 11y agoFantastic writeup.
- nomiddlemanco 11y agoThanks, will work on these items.
- michaelt 11y agoWhat's more, when I look at http://www.nomiddleman.co/products/executive-desk-sz1511 http://www.nomiddleman.co/products/executive-desk-sz1511 I see a brown table that can accommodate about four chairs, with sloping metal legs, for $1089. When I look at http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69857764/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69857764/ I see a white table that can accommodate four chairs (at a push), with sloping metal legs, for $100. Now, I know the former product looks larger and it's brown. It may well be a nicer product. But the page doesn't give me enough information to tell how much nicer it is. For all I can tell on that page, it could be an Ikea set of legs screwed onto a wood-effect particleboard surface with a huge profit margin.
