I'm thinking the seller raised the price so that they wouldn't have to list it as out of stock. Handmade furniture usually sells for a premium and I tried figuring out how the seller could justify charging $800-$900 for this and I can't.

Labor wise it would probably take an afternoon to bend and weld up the frame and probably 30 minutes to finish the top. I could see this going for $150-$200 if it was made by a sweatshop and $500 if it is handmade by an independent person. And that's not to mention the questionable build quality of the table based off the pictures. Some of the bends are weird and there's dents and bumps in the paint.

Also in the pictures there's inconsistency with how the tops are placed on/in the frame. It looks like the walnut top is placed on top of the frame, which is honestly really lazy for something this expensive, but the oak top has groves routed into it so it can sit between the frame rails. I have never worked with walnut but from my understanding it is an easier wood to work with than oak. So it isn't likely that they didn't make the walnut top flush out of practicality necessities. They probably revised the design to make it cheaper/faster which again is lazy (and kind of scummy) when you consider how much they are asking for these things.

Also there are 318 reviews for this so either the seller raised the price so they wouldn't have to take it out of stock, or I am way underestimating what people are willing to pay for shitty furniture.
