My work uses custom made workstations using 1515 80/20 aluminum extrusion, and a 1.2mx2.4m work top (a thick Formica coated plywood with edge molding), and a .5mx2.4m shelf suspended 45cm above the work surface, and a standard equipment rack to one side. This workstation is fully modular and can be combined with other pieces to allow for shelving, monitor/keyboard mounts, hardware, and other office needs, including privacy screens, lighting, storage, and full cubicles and enclosures with sliding doors.
The base workbench weighs about 100-150KG, and cost approximately $750US to manufacture, including labor. It has approximately ten times the raw material of this desk.
Right?! The number of alternatives that are far more practically useful in a premium price range is wild.
When I seen this , Rob Gretton chasing Tony Wilson around in 24 hour party people shouting “ 30 grand for a fookin table ! “ came into my head
Oh man I need to re-watch that.
🤣I had the exact same thought yesterday!! Just need the Mondays making a crack den outta one. (Viva Rob Gretton!)
Maybe it's their take on A Momentary Lapse of Reason? Not sure who is having the lapse here
It's so bizarre. It's like a parody of themselves. It must be some kind of performance art piece at this stage.
and only Pink Floyd could afford to buy one.
And i said that OP1 Field was overpriced... But this, this.. is a thing of passion and love. Only 1700£.
A bargain at twice the price!
They've made a modular baby changing table. Hurray.
The baby costs extra
In a couple years after interest in the initial baby falls off, they'll release an even better baby which will inevitably cost more
@@StephenMcLeod Yet, still cheaper than the desk.
@@valkloki Of course it will cost more! That baby will be a teenage person. That baby may want to be an engineer when they grow up.
@@StephenMcLeod Nah the baby comes free with the table. It's just self assembly.
we spend so much time figuring out what they're on about that we never give ourselves time to ask what they're *on.*
Whatever it is I want some
A few years from now they'll release a new version with "100 new features" and charge an extra k
100mm of extra plastic.
It looks like a decent desk. If it was 1/20th of the price I'd totally get some.
Hahaha
I have a completely modular workspace in my apartment consisting of 5 cheapo desks off amazon that are roughly the same height when put next to each other. they are sturdier and more minimalistic than the TE shite and they're less than 100 bucks each.
Blasphemy! You'll be jealous when my Field Desk arrives.
So what is the weight of an OP-1 Field?
Coz I don't think this desk is designed that cope with that kind of load.
I find it interesting that both have Field in the name.
I already ordered 3 of them. Though, to be fair, I canceled one of the orders so I could buy more crack cocaine.
Thing is you could write these off as a business expense, but probs not the crack.
@@StephenMcLeod Oh I don't know...I bet I could if I started selling crack.
"Crack IS my business!" lmao
I absolutely died when you said “to see what the f*** they are on about” @0:39
ha ha yes me too!!!
It's the question on all of our lips
😂😂
It took me at least a day to realize that this was not some form of meme or synth-related joke on my feed...
Likewise!
The close up of the aluminum looks judgement day worthy. I am just waiting to see which Synth youtuber reviews this. I am sticking with my Ikea desk
Can't wait for mine to arrive.
They gentrified the noise table
Pretty impressive really.
Not to get into UA-cam guy controversy here but I can’t wait for Hainbach to do an hour long diatribe on how not only is it good and worth the money, it should be even more expensive.
Seeing the price I was expecting carbon composite and titanium. The intention of this desk must be to make the prices of their music gear appear reasonable.
That isn't a completely ludicrous idea. The OP-1 Field seems tame in comparison.
You didn't read that there will be touch enabled animations for each desk functionality? For raising the height there is a hamster running in a wheel. You can drag its legs back-and-forth and it will raise and lower the desk and whatever speed your fingers move at. There's a grizzly old sailor smoking a pipe. If you pull down on the pipe more smoke puffs out, he winks a little, and the actual color of the desk instantly transforms. Think of the time saved, the sweaty hours adjusting the desk height and selecting a color. This thing is a monument to fashion, technology, and really a tribute to humanity.
This changes everything.
I feel like they should at least offer a discount if you're willing to pay a lifetime monthly fee, or get a highly visible Teenage Engineering tattoo.
A decade ago I was always kicking around the idea of grabbing a used OP-1, now TE annoys me so much that I wouldn't take a Field if it was free. Crazy how people talk shit about Behringer when TE exists.
Yeah. I've sold both my OP-1 and OP-Z, as at this point I'm pretty meh about all of it.
lol I fell for the title and thumbnail
Hey who says I never ordered one anyway...
@@StephenMcLeod You can NOT wait to get your desk! Where's the lie???
A friend of mine is a wood worker who can build you a desk for the same price from locally sourced wood that is customised to your needs and higher quality.
Too late. I bought 3 of the TE desks.
I'd love to hear you do a take-down of the latest fad of terming everything 'iconic'. 'Game-changer' wound me up....and then came labelling everything 'underrated'...and now...ICONIC.
I am iconic. Or was that laconic...
@@StephenMcLeod anti-dystopic?
The team at TE needs a check up from the neck up. Not sure if I'll ever own anything they make...not even purchased second hand. I recently saw an OP-1 for $600 usd at a Music-Go-Round (second hand) store over here, and it was more money than I had on me but I'm sure I would not have bought it even at that price. However, it was gone when I went back a week later....
I do like the OP-1... but not for the price. I've just sold mine and the OP-Z, so all I've got left are the Pocket Operators...
Yeah! I always wanted to have...a...table? Especially a super expensive one😂
To be fair, tables are under-rated. It's the next big thing.
@@StephenMcLeod you reckon? Also heard good things about chairs!
It's just taking the piss charging prices like that, we used to have desks like that in school in the eighties and I guarentee they didn't cost anywhere close to £1600, more like £16. TE can go and do one.
They are very similar to the industrial shelves you see in studios and garages all over... it's nuts.
they're tapping into the dumb but rich market!
My favourite market.
Loved this video particularly when you laughed out loud at the actual shipping bit!
I might try and make a version of this using a Wickes wallpapering trestle table and some old Meccano hot-glued to the sides. 50 quid total build max! 🎉
It is pretty wild. I get the idea of R+D costs for a system they would build out on as some kind of proof of concept, but it's so ridiculous.
I saved something like 80 percent off that, and have multiple levels of trays and a monitor mounted to the desk and it has an electrical adjustment for height. Just whatever standing adjustable desk and some clamp stands. Room for laptop, mouse, external keyboard, a couple racks of modular gear, microfreak, and a perch for my cat to look out the nearby window and enjoy his synths.
but does it have the TE logo
@@StephenMcLeod it does, but that's a sticker that came with a pocket operator.
@@CatFish107 Perfect
I bought 3 of these, I have been troled that if I buy moar, it can make ma mosak sound gooder?
Anyways, I am pretty happy because now I am gooder!!!
You need at least 4 to be success, soz.
@@StephenMcLeod welp, I might go pro and get 5.
5 to stay alive!!
@@StephenMcLeod all jokes aside, I think TE think they're edgy and somehow a house brand name that everyone wants.
Now to break it down, the Beat's branding was genius, but it was really poor value for money, so much so, they did a break down of what it cost to make including labor.
$28 USD for a $199 product.
They even went so far as to put weights in the headphones to make them appear to be made of quality material.
So what's the end result? Apple paid billions to acquire nothing more than a successful marketing tool.
Apple know all about it too.
What is really funny is these tables will sell, and they probably only have to sell a thousand or so to cover all their costs then turn a profit, they are taking the piss though.
I would say more likely, sell 100 and they've turned a handsome profit.
@@dankeplace or ten!
Many years ago as a kid, my older brother had an Erector Set and he built a desk that looks very similar. I think that Erector Set costs my parents $8.95 in the 1960's. 😁
Mechano?!
@@StephenMcLeod and the table he built had wheel to roll it around.😂
Had to check the date the first time I saw these and the price and to my astonishment it wasn't April 1st.
I'm still not convinced that it isn't April.
They just gave us the entire blueprint for the desk. They are saying that it is open source without saying that it is open source. That is what I like about them. They are confident in there product and they are making them for fun.
I'm not entirely sure they're really telling folks anything that they wouldn't be able to figure out by ordering a table and doing the measurements, to be fair. There's not a whole lot of protectible IP in there...
@@StephenMcLeod Right! They have assembly manuals for everything, measurements for everything and even tell what materials they used to make the products along with the use of off the shelf parts. I guess they know this and are going after the maker market.
An interesting theory!
Out of left Field!! I can't believe thing thing doesn't even come with a foldable Field chair!!! It has to be a mistake!! Where is the friggin Field chair man? Sold separately?! ... Standing there on my feet all day in a Field of rocks jamming out on top of my brand new Field desk with my OP-1 Field doesn't sound like a very good Field trip to me!! The bastards!!! 🤣🤣🐀
Rofl LRW this had me in stitches. Pahahahha
This is almost definitely intended for enterprise use. It's easy to picture an architectural firm or an advertising startup ordering a load of these for a sleek, streamlined office environment that projects success and sophistication. Because TE manufactures plenty of cool consumer electronics, it's easy to forget they're in the business of design.
Yeah, though if I was asked to invest in a startup that was prepared to sink multiples of 1600 quid into a single desk I'd be reconsidering their judgement.
@@StephenMcLeod i've been in a few startup conference rooms with $50,000+ of Herman Miller chairs, they're a good sight more than 1600 quid
@@kps2420 I'm sitting on one currently . it was more than half of what the desk cost, it looks better, it has a lifetime warranty, and I didn't have to fffffin build it. You just open the box and it is ready.
@@StephenMcLeoda perfect match for Herman Miller Aerons for the VC bottomless money-pit tech startup.
@@cabe_bedlam I see more of a benefit to the chairs, given the liability risks around non-ergonomic office equipment. Desks though...
I think someone had a few too many rails off their desk (up their nose) when they thought this one up.
A productive workplace!!
But the KO snaps on the side of it! Don't know really but the thought is worth the price.
That adds at least 200GBP.
Genuinely feel sorry for the folks that fall for the marketing BS and actually buy one! The “emperor’s new clothes” springs to mind…
It's bonkers. I'm still not truly convinced that it's actually a joke.
What I’d like to know is why people from Great Britain and Ireland add a mysterious syllable in A-Lu-Mi-Num ...as in A-Lu-Mi-Nee(???)-Um
North American English is the weirdo here!
@@StephenMcLeod lol. Indeed.
Imho if you want a functional table, go to B&Q or IKEA. If you want a designer table (well, designer anything), then be prepared to pay out £££. I wouldn’t pay £100 for a t-shirt but many do.. I wish them well on this one, happy in the knowledge I will never own this, or for that matter any fancy table 😂
I bought three!
@@StephenMcLeod 😂👌
I love me a good bargain
Gotta grab em where we can!
just came upon this video and couldn’t help check. it is sold out. no capital letters.
I wonder how many they made!?
At least it's with free shipping. Hold on. Shipping extra.
Delivery £95, obviously delivered by special EV/Hydrogen Hybrid truck, OR Delivered by Drone🤣🤣🤣🤣
The final slap in the face.
So basically a kit of extrusions and connectors manufactured from 70% recycled aluminium which happens to be the most prevalent metal found on the planet and some plastic coated plywood for £1700 to my door in the UK. And yes, the TE engineering Web blurb was utter BS, I tend to find a versatile horizontal surface ( desk ) allows for an infinite number of uses !
A bargain at twice the price!!
I guarantee that an Ikea version is on its way.
I'm not sure I'd even buy an Ikea version.
@@StephenMcLeod The all-time best all-around desk/worktable is Ikea's Jerker desk. That's not a typo, and I have three Jerkers in my studio/office.
I feel so cheap after watching this, my collection of synths/samplers currently rests upon a desk made from an old wardrobe door (Argos pine no less) with additional risers made from old shelves suppported on short sections of 2x4 Wickes construction timber (empty Volca boxes make great risers too).
Argos pine is quality!!!
The Emperor's New Desk
Perfect.
@@StephenMcLeod I'm happy you think so : ) He must have one on order.
Probably he commissioned the design
@7.15...genius.
Hahahaha thanks. Gotta take it where you can
It's time to table this subject.
Oh dear oh dear. The puns are out.
It makes me happy to think that humans are essentially identical, same height, same shoe size, same mass. This means that a one-size fits all Teenage Engineering field desk is going to be ideally suited for everyone. No need to check any ergonomic factors. I am concerned Stephen, that you are protesting the Teenage Engineering field desk on the basis of price. I encourage you to take the high moral ground, and refuse to buy one, because it violates your principles. With my 2% Mohawk ancestry, I am required to support any and all protests by indigenous people, including the Sami protests against Norsk Hydro (producers of the aluminum in the desk). Somewhere on Wikipedia, someone has written:"The disagreement led to a trial in Høyesterett [Supreme court], in which Fosen vind and the Norwegian state lost, on the basis of breaking human rights. Their continued refusal to dismantle or in any way honor the courts advices, has increased the tension between the sami people and the state of Norway. A year past the trial, the windmills are still standing." This wind farm is owned by Norsk Hydro, and is located about 40 km west of our house, but because of the various mountains in the way, it is about 85 km away by road, which takes almost 1.5 hours.
I thought this comment was going to go an entirely different way at the start. Lol.
I have a camping table that made of aluminium too, sorted!
Camping table was my first thought, too. Well, it's light and lasts forever, so probably a good investment.
Would be useful for the ol gigging as well, if it folded up, which it... err, well.
This is really, really funny.
I am only allowed to be funny once a year.
The greatest product ever made.
I should get two

Nah, this isn't hipster surrealism at work, it's economic cynicism.
One of the fashionable geezers with tinted glasses in a corner office up top got someone more boring looking down in accounting to do the math. And after some light linear optimisation they're confident to ship enough units at this price to make even a small production run profitable. /:
Btw: I learned about the oxford comma debate from a throwaway line dunking on te's copywriting in this video. Thx!
Hahaha I'm glad I could open your eyes to the heated world of comma debate.
How many desks do they give us for $1599?
I actually thought this was an April Fools style joke at first. Maybe Apple will buy TE at some point?
I still think it must be!!
I hate Apple, really I do, but even they aren't as 'style over substance' as TE is
Someone on Twitter asked the question whether you'd rather buy one of these desks or a budget trip to Japan. I don't think that's the right question to ask, though. The real question is, would you rather buy two of these desks or a first class trip to Japan where you're allowed to splurge a bit.
Honestly that is the question I used to always ask myself before buying anything. Would I rather spend cash on this new *thing*, or a trip abroad? I always picked the latter. Now I am old and can't travel anywhere anyway so I surround myself with pish.
I simple prefer to go to Japan...
I believe the product must have a catch to it. The price for a designy table is in that region for the bigger brands and they are big.
I predict that the catch will be, once you ordered this they'll contact you and send you all kind of free accessories to give it a keyboard tray or all kind of extra's for speakers, modular synth/gear
or.. it is a transformer
or.. it has AI
or..it is a walnut
The most logical answers for me are either:
1. This is intended for specific firms that want to impress, and will order a few.
2. This is a 'proof of concept' in relation to a modular system, and no real intention to sell.
3. It's all just a marketing stunt.
I stopped at pocket operators...po20 has stopped working = ( , and the po12 just drains batteries(in standby). KO still kicking it tho...yay. I wonder if Cuckoo will get one of these desks?
Oh man. I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder if there's a way to DC power them

I've already been over-taken by AI.
We've reached peak capitalism, boys
It's peak something alright.
Watch for bespoke fasteners, and special tools to be able to turn them. Some kind of dodecahedral screw head.
Oh God.
Crazy how you can create an overpriced brand off one decent product. The OP-Z is unnesecarilly weird to pilot and the Pocket Operators are more of like toys, which would cost 10x if TE released them today. OP-1 is all this brand has going for itself and it this point it should probably be replaced with a substitute.
It's a shame because the OP1 was really interesting and innovative, but TE obviously don't care much about music gear at this point. It feels more about experimenting in a bunch of different product areas. That's great, and their prerogative, but the pricing is increasingly bizarre.
table
slabba wood
the thing is, once they came out with the tx-6 and a bunch of trust fund kids bought it, making something like this becomes a no-brainer.
Next they'll be selling us Big Ben.
Ffs kip of it..looks like the bargain bin in IKEA 🌝👀🕺🏻
That bin cost 3k!!

@@StephenMcLeod no modular connection on that bin? 👀🕺🏻
look up the price of a laminated sheet of birch plywood (to be fair, baltic birch is at the high end of sheetgoods in terms of quality and price but there doesn't appear to be much labor performed on said sheetgoods) and the price of some small amount of perforated aluminum square tubing and it just doesn't seem to me like it would add up to more than like, 400 bucks after hardware and labor..the engineering might still be okay in terms of fitting hardware to get all this to fold together neatly but there is zero design. this is like a chef giving you head of lettuce and a bottle of dressing IMO. no modules they could ever release for this will change my mind
Yeah. I get the idea of them using this as a proof of concept for design purposes if they create a 'system' that folks can build on, and charging a lot to offset R+D, with no real intention to sell them largely, but it just seems bizarre.
Design an erector-set desk. Source some simple reusable components. Figure out what 50% markup is. THEN add a 0 to the price.
Mechano-Desk-R-Us
if you sell the most expensive thing in a given market, some hollow dafty may be compelled to own what others can not.
correlating exclusivity with value. so selling less stuff to less people for more
I think I might start charging 10k per video.
i'll take two, put one in my mylar safe :)
Impersonating them? Why? You could get 2 Festool 9MFTs for the same price and 1000000000x the functionality with the 20mm dog hole ecosystem. And even without the dog holes (assuming you buy a $60 sheet of birch plywood and do a surface) the rails make it just as functional as this table. Don't get me wrong.....the Teenage Engineering table is a lot better looking...but thats about it.
But this one is teenage engineering
There are some dark forces at work within this company.
I am the dark force.
Whatever about the price, it doesn't look very sturdy. £95 for shipping feels unnecessary stingy.
Even Ikea's shipping via truck is 40 quid...
that's not an oxford comma
So I've been told.
Like the computer case, I think this is another “we built this for ourselves out of a need, and we’re willing to sell them to you too”. However, this is perhaps a bridge too far. It’s friggin plywood and recycled aluminum. It’s almost as much as an OP-1 field, it’s only a few hundred bucks more than an OG OP-1. It’s $500 more than a TX-6, and all it does is keep objects further off the ground than other objects, and you still need to pay separate shipping! I love these guys, I’ll defend any product they’ve made because they always get better over time, but this one is too much. Even for a company willing to burn money to look trendy, it’s just not a smart buy.
It is so bizarre. They are clearly going for the 'design company' angle, but... why even sell this? Unless they don't expect to sell any. It's so odd.
They like to remind you how expensive their products are... Not sure it's really working with 3/4 of their clientele. I gave up on them a long time ago. when I saw the op field being much more expensive than the first release, I just lost interest as usually, a rehashed product with way less r&d cost less to produce than the first iteration. TE is greedy but are already loosing in the innovation dept... Good luck
I could buy my modular start up set up for that cash
Pro tip

Now there's an interesting question.
I assumed it was a parody too...
p.s. 4:10 "Ah, see, they believe in the Oxford comma". I'd not have said anything were it not in the context of grammatical ribbing, but 'an Oxford comma' describes a comma before the last item in a list of three or more items (e.g. in "Item 1, Item 2, and Item 3" only the last one is the Oxford comma).
