Who says $8 retail. I said that would be the prob cost to make and ship when you add everything. So like I said in my orig post; this should cost $20 at the most.
It's not my fault you spent $75 on a high school wood shop project. But imo based on all yor answers here to everybody you are prob the one making them.
Apologies. I misunderstood your financial references ($20, $2, $8, 7 x $?, reference to post #26 [2 for $7]).
Your opinion is wrong, btw. I like it, but I don't even own this stand, let alone make it.
My similarly handcrafted and overpriced stand is on order from another artisanal US manufacturer.
