It’s a YouTube creator and maker (Simone Giertz) who invented this as part of a video. She doesn’t produce thousands of these, so I see where the price is coming from.
Its an absurdly expensive chair, but at that price it should be the kind of furniture that your great grandkids will be taking to the dump after you’re long gone. You can’t say the same for an IKEA chair that lasts 20 years.
Just wait to see what people charge for custom dining room tables.
Not much of my great grandparents furniture exists that I know of. A couple things my son’s great grandma still exist. But I expect he’ll be taking it to the dump when it’s time to clean out our house.
My endorsement is meant to be a kind of humorous spin, talking about throwing it away is definitely not a proper endorsement, but I’m not a furniture marketer.

I don’t think “your grandkids will have to throw it away” is quite as strong an endorsement as you meant it to be
Great grandkids. Not grandkids.

I am seeing it at a reduced price of $880 USD, but still
