Initial glance, it's expensive. Where you are being chopped the most is the full height items. your ID is using a price of 280/ft. Most IDs are charging about $230/ft. Going direct can get you $200 or under. Also you need to know more details of the items, issit swing, slide mechanism? Is the wood plywood or compressed woodchips? Is the interior PVC, polygon or laminates? Are there glass finishes to the carpentry?Do abit of check more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
