"Love the concept, but then again I love anything modular. Agree they may have something but it needs some refining. As a backer, I'd be more concerned about them optimizing their production method after they're funded. I think they should have solved that prior to launching.  Hopefully they have and that's part of why they need the funds, but they might want to articulate that.  Wonder what shipping from Croatia would be also.  The desk certainly looks solid and it can't be light.   We're actually getting ready to launch a crowdfunding campaign in just a couple weeks as well for a modular furniture system that I designed. (Hoping to have something here on Core77 soon). We use baltic birch plywood which doesn't warp or swell. We looked at using different hard woods but ended up going with engineered wood because of the concerns you mentioned. Check us out, would love to get some constructive feedback as well! www.mojuhler.com"
