Just set a cardboard box on top of your regular desk. That costs $0.

I really like cardboard furniture. And cardboard in general, it is like foldable wood in some cases. Very cool.
Very expensive, but I'm guessing that their shipping fees from New Zealand would be quite a lot
@_jacksmith Is it really that common to manufacture where you start? I always thought economics decided manufacture location.
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.
Absurd pricing. Especially when a varidesk will only drain you another 100 bones: http://www.varidesk.com/standing...
+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 .
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 🍻
@jasondainter @mil5om I have mounted this (http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalo...) on my wall at standing height- can't beat that price!
@shahab_21 Idea is super. But the price tag is a joke, 250 $ for a cardboard desk. Can someone in china please copy them and send me one for 50-100 $ thanks👏
@shahab_21 It's pricey, but it's still about 1/2 the price of a "decent" standing desk and about 4x cheaper than a good standing desk. So for all practical purposes - to try standing, to get tired of like most people do, and to go back to sitting within two month, this is a great alternative. Oh, and no need to spend an hour to assemble like you would on most inexpensive ones, or maybe even two days that you would spend on building your own from ikea furniture. Price is always relative.
@shahab_21 Yeah, it's a bit much. You can get a decent drafting table (essentially a standing desk) for half that price that's not made out of cardboard: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product...
@eddie @shahab_21 The price has certainly gone up a little bit since Kickstarter ($160NZD)
I think perhaps part of the added value proposition is that it's light and portable... but in reality, if that's not important to you then it becomes an expensive piece of cardboard. Also being made out of high quality, recycled cardboard surely brings the price up
