Well, may be you should think of the difference in production of a Aston Martin vs a Ford.

Comparing a $200,000 luxury sports car to a desk is preposterous. First of all, there are actual features to differentiate an Aston Martin from a Ford. This is a piece of wood with some metal suspending it off of the ground. There's nothing to differentiate this product from a desk purchased from ikea, except for the fact that you get to "handcraft" the ikea desk yourself. In fact, besides the sourcing of the material.
Fair enough. I was making a general point rather than this specific product. I agree that this desk does not live up to its price tag.
