Unless they are handmade, it probably is pretty close to that snoopcester Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 05:11:50 PM
I got three bookshelves at IKEA for £60 total. Why would anyone pay $950 for something that clearly cost them $20 to make?


Just the labor would be much more than that.


about 90% of what you are buying is the design. If you like the design that much and can't get it anywhere else, then it is good value for you.

I wouldn't buy them though:P
