Crate & Barrel’s CB2 store sent this email to customers to promote its Dwight Desk:
It reads in part: “Farewell to the world’s best boss. You always left us wanting more. The Office just won’t be the same. But at least we still have Dwight.”

I don’t really get it. How does the desk relate to Dwight?
Nick, I was trying to figure out the same thing. It must just carry the name Dwight as a tribute because I see no inspiration from the character. Either way, it’s still cool.
I was seriously expecting an Uday Hussein replica desk. Which I guess might not be such a good idea in retrospect, but there would be a market for it!
Thought it would be a faux marble deal…. The Hussein Collection?
I’m not sure how it relates to Dwight either, but I love that the Crate and Barrel people are fans. Excellent ad.
And here I thought Crate & Barrel was going to sell a replica of Uday Hussein’s desk.
OMG My two favorite worlds just collided. The CB2 Catalogue and The Office…I might just die.
I’m thinking the desk and its name already existed but that they just used it as an excuse to make a Michael Scott tribute ad. However, I think the little robot figurine was purposely placed haha. Either way, I love it!
