Just curious, as someone in the corrugated industry, do you think they're pushing their luck with the price?

- FuriouslyAdrift 11y agoI sent the site over to our lead designer. He wants to crank one out on our prototyping table in the next couple of days to try it out. We may be able to figure pricing pretty easy. It's two medium-ish sheets of double wall so board cost probably is less than $50 even with the laminating. The rest is all the variable costs.. labor, production, transport, and the SGA. They could go lower but at the moment I imagine they don't have the scale to get the costs lower and their market isn't established yet. $250 is definitely cheaper than the standup desks we have - those things are pricey. Really anything marketed as office furniture is over priced. For home or SOHO, I think it's value is for more of a novelty or for making your office stand out. Kind of like those ridiculously over priced Herman Miller chairs...
- cableshaft 11y agoAt $250, it's basically the same price as a wooden desk (in fact, I bought a tempered glass + wood desk at 40% of this desk's price) so they have to be pushing their luck there. If it really costs that much, then it's not such a great deal after all. If it was around $60...maybe $75... I would have seriously considered getting one, though.
