Because their shit is super expensive.

Its a nice concise thread. A question, an answer, and a sarcastic comment from me. What more does the world need?
- Spookytim0
Oh, and an unexpected interjection from Madirish. Job Done.

just in case autonoma missed it....

Next I'll make a pointless comment about making a pointless comment that has no relevance to the main topic of which I've already forgotten.
- Spookytim0
...and then I'll be predictably irritating and 'all over the fucking thread like inflight soup' by posting something entirely irrelevant that tries to squeeze humour out of simply doing a poo.

10% off of some super expensive shit is still pretty damned expensive.
- madirish0
and a 40% mark-up on sweat labor for poorly made products is even more damned expensive.
- Randd0
they never give more than a small percentage off, even in bulk--this either indicates small margins or a parsimonious corporate culture

when they speak of "within reach", they are not referencing the price point. They are in fact referencing the availability of these design classics that they give to you.

It's doublethink, get it? Design within Reach is not within reach.
Doublethink is the act of simultaneously and fervently holding two mutually contradictory beliefs. It is an integral concept of George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

They're a retailer, not a manufacturer. You can go to anywhere else, like Hive (http://www.hivemodern.com), and find the exact same prices.

I once used the term "Design Out of Reach" in front if my boss, who has several DWR products in her house. She did not laugh.
D'oh.
