To you, it is a cheaply made box, to the purchaser it is a solution to an untidy desk. It is probably quite reasonable to a non woodworker who has no idea of the technicalities.

Also, the maker is probably selling it for about a tenner, but tax and the retailers margin take the lions share.
 
Description says "strong dovetail corners".

Wrong!

(but I agree, the actual makers will be getting pennies)

I'm curious as to how much people here could make this for ?

Description now says strong box-joint corners, you think we're being watched ?
 
Bet he got all excited when he spotted all the clicks from the link above.

So he came to have a look :(
 
Start knocking them out from reclaimed timber, and he could double the price 8)
