£1,800 !! yikes
572 on amazon, I saw that 1800 price and I think it's just a random bot price. I paid about 350 8 years ago.
Even £90 is a bit steep. It's a clever design but it's not made of anything expensive. If it isn't well protected by registered designs and patents it will be ripped off for a fraction of the price.
They've been making them for over 50 years... I've never seen a knock-off.

I know it's an odd combination of 1970s teasmaid and modern hipster douchebag coffee faff, but I really do fancy one of these

If I needed something like that I'd construct it myself from dexion and wotnot for a fraction of the price.

For what they're asking for a toolbox I'd expect it to have an anti-gravity engine such that it floats in air and gently follows you around like a faithful old hound.

Not quite a knock-off, but certainly has the functionality...

The Phantom coffee table looks to be J79 not Spey so I'm out hehe

Love some of the big conference tables but I bet they're an insane price. Any site where you have to e-mail them for a price rather than it being shown on the site you know isn't going to be wallet friendly biggrin

Very nice indeed. I'm toying with the idea of getting into vinyl, although at a slightly lower price point than that.

Your terms are not acceptable. Make it twice and they might get back to you.

Reminds me of when my parents had some Argos vouchers from work in the 80s and bought a carriage clock.

That one is very 1970's, and a lot like the one I have, inherited from my in-laws. But you can get far more contemporary designs.
