You guys aren't figuring in what this company spends in overhead and shop running costs, insurance for the workers, design costs, lacquer/poly finish, etc, all of which is a big financial burden. I'm a furniture/cabinet maker and have made similar products as this. Every day I have to deal with people who don't understand/can't justify costs incurred in putting together a seemingly simple piece such as this. This is made in Canada, by Canadians, not Asia. This guy is not making $350 profit per piece, believe me. Everyone has the prerogative to buy or not to buy. Although he does have a right to make profit, employ locals and stay buoyant, he could quite easily have this mass produced in Asia and sell it for $100, but that is not who this company is.
