This would be a cool temporary situation for my new flat seeing as there is no furniture in it... I do think the price-point is pretty steep for what it is... Maybe I'll build one myself from empty beer crates 🍻
Jerry Becker
I like the concept, but also agree on the price point comments above. This needs to be a sub-$100 product
Daniel Burke
@beckerjs Exactly. I mean, for $100 I'd buy two. Right now.

@gyanprayaga Where are you seeing $106 USD? This is what it's quoting me:
Joshua Dance
I really like cardboard furniture. And cardboard in general, it is like foldable wood in some cases. Very cool.
Will Feldman
Yes, this is great. I loved it and was going to buy one. But $250 is crazy. I would maybe pay $35 or so! It's sad because I was going to buy one. :(
Lynn Fredricks
Yes, this looks like something that should be $49 at Costco, Staples or Office Depot. I could see this also being a good solution for a pop up table for public events.

+1 for Flatpack and self-packing. This is also probably the lightest material that is sturdy enough to do this. It is recyclable when done. Really the only problem I see is the price. Trying to look a the pros. Definitely interesting.

Concept is pretty cool. I can surely envision more of the furniture like this however at these price points, it just becomes a novelty .
Darshil Patel
I love the idea, it's very innovative. Hopefully you guys can work on the price. A little​ bit expensive for my liking.
Alex Saunders
Same I would have totally bought one for 50$! - anyone interested in looking for chinese manufacturers? xD
Jack Smith
Very expensive, but I'm guessing that their shipping fees from New Zealand would be quite a lot

@rometty_ @_jacksmith I'm guessing that's where they live :)

@_jacksmith Is it really that common to manufacture where you start? I always thought economics decided manufacture location.

You are not disrupting the standing Desk market, Ikea's standing desk is probably cheaper than this. the portability of it is great idea but I am sure it takes its toll on the life time of the cardboard material.

Pros:

Idea is good

Cons:

PRICE!

Shaun Russell
Hefty price, and weird tagline too ("so much more than just a desk"). It seems they're trying to position it as a quality leader when it's product-market fit should be as a cost leader.
Ray Wang
The person who would buy this is insane in my book as for 200 more he can get a electronic standing desk from Ikea. The manufacturer definitely need to streamline how they produce this thing. It should be 50 bucks at the most.
Benjamin Milsom
Neat idea. How much does it cost?
Adam Owen
@mil5om seems to start from $250 for orders outside of Australia/New Zealand. I'd rather invest in an Ikea standing desk personally, though the quality does look good.
Jason Dainter
@adamowenit @mil5om totally agree, ikea standing desk way better value.
Neil Chudleigh
@jasondainter @mil5om I have mounted this (http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalo...) on my wall at standing height- can't beat that price!
Andrew Colclough
Absurd pricing. Especially when a varidesk will only drain you another 100 bones: http://www.varidesk.com/standing...

Wow! Such an awesome idea... but the price point? Ouch :(
Loren G
two questions- What do you do about a chair? What happens if you spill water on it?
Andy P
Just set a cardboard box on top of your regular desk. That costs $0.
Mathieu Gosbee
Solution: Sell a stencil instead, and let us use regular moving boxes.
