- JohnJamesRambo 7y agoI agree it is cheesy but at least they were trying!
- ericd 7y agoI don't think it's that expensive? Hollow core doors are cheap (~$30 at HD), flexible, huge, durable, and feel nice. I love my door desk.
- knolax 7y agoThey hired people to build the desks. The labor cost probably puts them in the red, especiaplly b/c of the scale.
- jdavis703 7y agoHow can something be flexible and durable? As someone who accidentally punched a hole through a hollow core door, I can definitely say I’d never consider placing expensive equipment on one.

- ericd 7y agoI meant flexible in terms of what it allows you to do (although it does flex a bit as well). But to your question, ductile (non-brittle) metals tend to be more durable than brittle ones.
