I bet a bunch of 13-14 year olds made the Beyonce ones as well.

Where's your hideous thin black leather handle that would never work if it was full of heavy records?

u/Individual_Act_2612 Sep 05 '26

I believe you mean faux gator leather. As if it couldn’t get even worse.

u/lite_Historian_6125 Sep 05 '26

the faux alligator strap is the rancid maraschino cherry on top

u/FallenWaifu Sep 06 '26

Oh my god you’re right, bro it literally looks like a kid carved that pattern with a butter knife.

u/External_Gold5379 Sep 06 '26

Yeah, it’s wild how much they’re charging for something that’s basically just a fancy container. Feels like a massive cash grab.

u/dendrophilix Sep 06 '26

I feel like the strap might hold. The flimsy hardware, on the other hand…

u/Famous1107 Sep 06 '26

Jesus tittyfucking christ, that things gotta be worth at least $4000

u/Pythagoras_314 Sep 06 '26

Looks like it needs some more sanding on the inside but otherwise I'd take that 100% lol

As someone who works with wood on occasion (albeit I am using reclaimed wood from pallets to make a small fence, and don't have any pics of any of my previous work so my opinion probably means squat) yours looks better then the Beyonce one

u/Famous1107 Sep 06 '26

u/PandaRaper Sep 06 '26

u/Lunakill Sep 06 '26

Yours looks better than the Beyoncé one. I would 100% buy wooden stuff from you based on your pic

u/Famous1107 Sep 06 '26

Thanks friend. Made my day.

u/SwimmingNo5186 Sep 07 '26

Me! I love it!

u/Soundsgreat1978 Sep 07 '26

How many Beyonces will it fit?

u/My_hairy_pussy Sep 05 '26

You idiot. I would have paid 900 bucks for that. Guess my money goes to Beyonce, then.

u/ProjectDv2 Sep 06 '26

Stop playing, you don't have any money

u/Dolphin_King21 Sep 05 '26

Sell it for 948 dollars

u/_BLACKHAWKS_88 Sep 06 '26

+.18c.. Don’t forget the change.. saw a post from someone that bought it and the total was like $1050 after taxes and shipping. The shop also tacks on about $60 bucks for shipping which you would think would be free.

Jesus was a carpenter after all

u/soda_cookie Sep 06 '26

Lmfao I was just about to comment "I'll bet you could show this to a random reddit or and it could be replicated in a matter of hours". I didn't think if be off by negative years

u/biggobird Sep 06 '26

Yours looks better

u/Tarantula_Saurus_Rex Sep 05 '26

Yours is awesome though!

1

u/FormerTesseractPilot Sep 06 '26

Why do you still have it?

1

u/le_gazman Sep 06 '26

At least you bothered to varnish yours.

1

u/SuckMyRedditorD Sep 06 '26

Now you just need a room full of grammys and major record deals, tours and a lot of song hits. You'll then understand.

u/RedJive Sep 06 '26

It holds dreams! Very nice

1

u/houseWithoutSpoons Sep 06 '26

Gotta be honest not really. Yeah its a box but i will give her at least the box is nice .look im not even anything close to a Beyonce fan.but the box is or appears to be well made.its maybe worth 100 bucks or so. Nowhere near 1k..but like they saying goes a fool and his money

1

u/Medium_Educator1983 Sep 06 '26

That’s actually impressive.

1

u/gigilero Sep 06 '26

Yours looks like nicer wood tbh

1

u/Top-Manner7261 Sep 06 '26

Well it's worth close to $1000 now

1

u/GetCelested Sep 09 '26

Man you can probably trade that for an oz of weed

1

u/Infierno3007 Sep 13 '26

At least you stained yours.

u/mrpopenfresh Sep 06 '26
