Classic example of durability vs cost. It may seem excessively priced but these things last forever. As in I've seen plenty in heavy use for 60+ years with very few operational problems (maybe the wind up mechanism for adjusting height might be a little stiff but still very usable). Big up front cost but it ends up being a decent investment if you can afford it.
