Shanghai tricases makes this field desk and sells it for six hundred bucks on ali, but a genuine pelican hardigg field desk like this costs a little over two grand. I have always wanted one of these desks for camping and because I really like modular furniture, living in a small space, but never enough to justify the cost. I bet the chinesium one is every bit as sturdy, probably used by the chinese military and that's why they got the cost so low. I feel like pelican is expensive because of labor, overhead, brand, and military industrial complex nonsense inflating expenses.
