Looks like they're re-launching their tables, except this time, they can't ship to America at all!

Damn, I'm gonna miss out on super expensive cardboard for the 2nd time..

**Seriphis**

Just ridiculous...

should get off the more US centric kickstarter, and redeploy to the more euro-centric indigogo.

With Kickstarter being in New York and Indiegogo in San Francisco, Kickstarter is arguably 3000 miles closer to the centre of Europa than Indiegogo.

They're websites. Where their offices are based is far less relevant than who uses them.

The currency is the more important thing... USD and no shipping to the US is a little nuts.

Looks like they're not pulling any punches with the marketing this time either.

**Agamemnon2**

...yes, that's certainly them punching themselves. Probably on the face.

Who'd want to buy a nasty cardboard table for £80 when you can get an 8x4 sheet of MDF for less than £20?

Does MDF advertise their sheets with pictures of attractive women who're implied to be nude?

...No, but get them on the phone - I've got the feeling we're about to make a fortune

US backers can get a shirt or become a retailer... When campaigns like this raise so much money so quickly with so few pledges it really makes me wonder how much money the guys from the buisness have thrown in.

**lord_blackfang**

$6,842 / 41 backers = $167 average pledge. Who the heck is paying that for a cardboard table?

This lot lord_blackfang lol.

$99k goal felt like they were pushing the boat out WAY too far but, credit where it's due they reached $57k for that project. So despite the god awful idea of using cardboard legs they're not doing too badly.
