Crikey ! Do people actually pay those prices ?

I can maybe see such high prices on more time-consuming styles
of furniture that have carving or inlay ... or exotic wood ..
I don't really see it .. even doing hand-cut joinery.

I don't doubt that it's very nice hand-made furniture ..
I just don't move in the social circles where anyone knows anyone
who would pay $ 6 grand US almost $ 8 grand Canadian
for that "computer table " ..
.. and then have to go shopping for a chair ! :-)
If I were to ask around here - I'm guessing that the local
craftsmen would maybe charge $ 1200 to build one -
certainly $ 2000. would do it..

Haven't you been paying attention to the news recently. Trump's secretaries are ordering $30,000 dining tables and $75,000 office doors. So $6,000 for a computer table would be scoffed at. Now I realize the politician's use of "free" government money to pay for this furniture may affect things.
