3. No, Kali, it is not just you!
Those prices are insanely high.

My plastic chairs cost $7.99 each and the tables were $3.99 each.

Fun site, though!

4. Hey, it says it's RESIN...so they can charge much more than mere plastic...
and it's probably imported from France or Italy rather than China...

still way overpriced, huh?
