    Curiously enough I pledged for a product that was funded: http://www.kickstarter.com/proje…

    It's been 4 1/2 months out and still the product hasn't been delivered. While I kept my expectations realistic (I didn't think the product would come until late summer) I was surprised at a few manufacturing hiccups that have occurred - very specific problems in regards to injection molding. And while the creators have been very good about explaining the nature of the delays I can't help but get a little nervous that $60 or whatever I pledged might evaporate into the ether if the product cannot be produced... or worse yet.. my $60 went to a product where the quality is far less than I expected. Still, I remain optimistic.

    • that's like 90% of product design... if it can't be produced/manufacture... effectively/affordab... it's not gonna happen...sine
    • happen. that's where most kickstarters fail. a good-looking idea isn't enought, yet people donate 'cause it "looks cool".sine
    • those coat hooks are ugly as hell.ian
