A total scam? wow glenn dick .
I see a very high quality component cabinet, built with extremely high standards that most cabinet shops can not contend with. Most cabinet shops will not have the tooling to build a solid wood cabinet, so they use plywood or veneers due to high investment costs for machines.
When the interviewer would shut his mouth and let the designer talk, his explanation of the advantages of a solid wood design and how they contended with the constraints of a solid wood cabinet, I found to be very enlightening.
As for the cost to value on the record bins. Most people due not know what a dovetail joint is, or have an appreciation for quality wood. If you do not, then purchase Chinese mass produced products. If you can not afford a heirloom quality built cabinet, well I would not share it.
