I want a Jumbo Jet Executive Desk!

I've said it before and I'll say it again – I LOVE the stuff they do over at MotoArt, where they take vintage airplane parts and use them to create the most amazingly tasty corporate and home furniture.
The problem is that the little rascals keep on tempting me. I just received the July 2012 newsletter, which features a Jumbo Jet Executive Desk:
Fabricated from a section of the fuselage, complete with a 1/2" tempered glass top, the windows in the fuselage can be configured with lighted LED's, changeable photographs or even iPads for visual presentations.
I tell you, they have some AMAZING stuff here and I want all of it. Consider the PW-747 Cowling Bar with F-4 Ejection Seat bar stools as shown below, for example:
I could spend hours sitting at this on my own, reading a book and quaffing a beer, and just generally enjoying this uber-tasty furniture. They have the most incredible lights, beds, sculptures … all sorts of things. I just saw their B-25 NoseArt for the first time, and now I want that also.
If you want to know more about this stuff, check out the MotoArt Website and also This Video on YouTube.
How much does this stuff cost? Trust me – if you have to ask, you can't afford it!

Cool stuff, I like the air fans and the receptionist cubicle they show in the main website visual portfolio, it looks like a small cockpit/control room.
I assume at those prices, the model secretary is included! ... LoL

Just come back from a week out of the office, don't know whether anyone will ever read this, but...
There was an interesting programme on BBC TV in the UK last night about 747 maintainence. They visited an aeroplane recycling company and discussed the second-hand prices for various parts: £500 for a used toilet bowl; £30,000 for a single, used windscreen panel! However, the stuff this desk is made out of is basically scrap, so if the desk is expensive it's because it's designer...

I'd love to have an ejection seat as my office chair. Even better, equip a conference room with them - especially if it was still functional. Whenever someone was droning on, getting too "pointy haired" or just annoying, they could be punched out of the building. If everybody was being annoying or if I were at risk of succumbing to PowerPoint poisoning, I could just punch out and escape the meeting.
