@Aztrader re costs & future increases... transportation costs have to be killing small companies.
Anecdote:
Around May of 2020 I had several pieces of custom furniture made. Trendy reclaimed barnwood stuff, giant, sturdy, heavy, not cheap to ship cross-country. My office desk alone was just under $1K shipped. October 2021, my wife wanted the same desk... which was marked up to $1800 shipped.
On a whim, about a week ago, I checked their website ... that desk is now $2700 shipped. For their sake I hope they lock in transportation as orders arrive...
