Quality
While technically they are handmade, machinery is used in some of the construction processes for the boxes. The €198 (7100) and €172 (7150) retail price in continental Europe for each unit is extremely expensive when compared to similar, although lesser designed products using simpler materials, which offer the record collector an alternative at between 10-20% of the price. However in its favour, the Fatty is arguably far superior ergonomically and is intended equally as a piece of furniture to sit on (in the case of the 7100). That, along with being designed by a much in demand designer, Harri Koskinen, may account for this relatively high pricing.
