I would say, in case of this table, "if you have to ask for price you can't afford it".
Just the raw wood material probably costs a fortune. Given the fact there aren't many people that can produce anything out of it I assume that the prices are astronomical.
People have been volunteering their time and they are still raising £200,000 to get the table completed.

Looks very promising. There was some doubt about interferons as they can also help COVID to get into the body but some new research from the University of Southampton has cleared up that there are two kinds of the ACE2 receptor.
>This makes me wonder if some new colorblindness glasses manufacturer is planting "viral" content.
This is it. Last couple of rounds of these "magic glasses" have also followed the same pattern, trying to prey on colourblind people's loved ones to buy them these expensive glasses. Everything I've read from people who've actually tried this says they're underwhelming, they work by blocking some of the spectrum around where you have issues (for instance I'm Red/Green so I have issues around those colours but especially browns and purple) so you can distinguish differences more clearly.
They do NOT let you see more colours magically, just distiguish the now reduced colour set better.
I'd love nothing more than some magical solution to cure my colourblindness, when I was a kid up till I was 15 (I got diagnosed really late) my top three careers were Astronaut, Military Pilot and Commerical pilot, if anyone remembers that one scene in Little Miss Sunshine that was very close to my reality. Unforutnatly until we start replacing eyeballs somehow it just doesn't exist.
tl;dr don't buy these, they're trying to use your impulse to do something nice for someone against you.
I had only heard of Enchroma but then stumbled across and bought some Pilestone glasses last month. I think they cost me around £120 here in the UK.
At first I put them on and they just made everything look tinged with pink so removed them after a minute or two. Then I noticed the instructions. I had assumed glasses didn't need instructions but all it said was to leave them on for at least 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust.
My eyes did 'adjust' after a few minutes more and while it wasn't something that would make me cry like the viral videos, there was definitely an emotional reaction. I wore them on a walk through the countryside and the vivid colours of certain flowers did make me stop and I found I couldn't stop grinning.
I did find that reds look a bit orange - things like the Royal Mail van which is certainly red appeared quite bright and what I would previously have called orange. Who knows if that's wrong or right though? It's hard to know how everyone else sees things.
I don't wear the glasses day-to-day but I do take them with me if we are going somewhere picturesque.
The rest of the article seems quite on point, but that rent, I just can't quite put my finger on it.
There is no way you're getting a 2 bedroom for anywhere near that. It's not even in the right ballpark.
What you could afford for £1300 is a 1 bedroom, at a fair distance from central, thanks to the sharp drop in rent from coronavirus last year.
I'm certainly curious to know what he is renting. Either he's not living in London or I missed a second wave of rent drop from coronavirus.
