Isn't the third of the price of an office still quite a substantial amount of money? Can I ask what kind of space you get? I always imagined a small desk or cubicle for each person (individual renting). I ran my own business for awhile but jumped out because it was just so expensive and it was very difficult to separate life and work with a family.

Here is exemplary pricing for Germany which seems to greatly vary by real-estate prices:

Berlin 120€ for a flex-desk 200€ for a fixed-desk http://agoracollective.org/workspaces/coworking/

Munich 299€ for a flex-desk 370€ for a fixed-desk http://mates-muenchen.de

All include coffee/water/tea, broadband wifi, printing, conference room couple of hours.

EDIT: prices are pre-tax.

Wow. Dublin is on average €400 euro for a fixed desk. Approximately €250 for a flex-desk.

Including VAT.

It's $225 a month for a reserved desk which is essentially a less closed-off cubicle with a lockable file cabinet. This was comparable to other coworking locations in my city (Salt Lake).

I pay about $20 USD a week for a desk.

Please let me know too. I wanted to set one up in Palatka FL. I found a building. Had a possible budget of 150k. Sadly, the building owner wanted 350k for a termite infested building. Wouldn't budge.

I would have offered broadband, AC, small kitchen and choice of standing desk or traditional tables (all home made with plywood of course) for about $20 a week. Then offered 24/7 access for around $30.

What do you get for that? Broadband, wi-fi, bathroom, kitchen, 24 hour access?

300Mb wifi, there's bathrooms, a kitchen, 24 hour access for about double the price (and comes with a fixed desk).
