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.

Famous quotes containing the word quality:
“The irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Self-esteem evolves in kids primarily through the quality of our relationships with them. Because they can’t see themselves directly, children know themselves by reflection. For the first several years of their lives, you are their major influence. Later on, teachers and friends come into the picture. But especially at the beginning, you’re it with a capital I.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
