I think the idea's interesting, but.... the price tag. $200 for a set of four steel table legs attached to clamps? Or if you have a piece of furniture that defies the laws of physics you can get one for 50.

They're also horribly designed.

The clamp has way too small of an area. I see a lot of people just screwing INTO their totally hip, reclaimed outhouse door-turned-desk. I mean...it will keep it in place, I guess, but be harder to unscrew and it will make the surface wobble.

And then on top (well..on bottom) of that are the feet. They really should have adjustable feet on the bottom to deal with both uneven floors, and uneven table/desk surfaces. Which, if they're used as intended on old, reclaimed wood, will be most of them...especially with those small clamps screwing into the wood.

Fake edit: Oh, I see they actually do plant to increase the size of the clamp on the production model...still could use some adjustable feet, though. But then they wouldn't look as nice, and this is CLEARLY form over function at play, here.

It's being done by a visual communications student. He could be doing a viral media project for school or he could be an intern at an ad firm or the company itself and doing some sort of indirectly-sponsored social media campaign to prove himself. Or he could just be a starving student with an interesting hook.

For $200 it's not a bad option really. No it's not perfect but at least here in Australia you pay that much for an Ikea table and these let you move houses easily and switch the top of your desk easily whenever you feel like it. I dunno, doesn't seem so dumb to me.
