Got a little princess in your life? Daddy's little girl will go absolutely nuts for this AMAZING pumpkin-shaped fantasy carriage bed, inspired by the fairy tale Cinderella.
Oh, and what's $47,000 if you can bring sweet dreams and a little smile to your daughter's face?

Wonder how they justify THAT price.
"Wonder how they justify THAT price"? You said it yourself: skilled craftspeople. Plus a skilled designer, fine materials, and the fact that it isn't from IKEA and you aren't putting it together yourself.

They charge that much because they can. If it sells, it means people find enough value in the good. Eco101.
Your average car probably hosts $6,000 to $10,000 worth of raw iron, aluminium, plastic and glass, yet, that same amount of raw material can be transfomed into a $17,000 Chevy Malibu or $65,000 BMW M5.
The price of a good is not related to the cost of its material or fabrication.
Luckily I have a boy, so I don't have to make such difficult decisions. ;)
I always ask prices. I couldn't care less what some retail worker thinks of me. They're getting minimum wage anyway, and couldn't afford 90% of what they're selling.
I believe in wise investments. I always will, no matter how much I have.
Eyeballing the raw materials of this coach and estimating labor + a fair tip, I could find someone who could make it for about 7-10k. Maybe less. Sure, it might not be AS nice. There is a certain artisan touch to it thats hard to replicate. But it remains what it is. A childs BED.
It is by no means worth $45,000 I see nothing on it, that looks particularly expensive, or hard to replicate. (A car on the otherhand, is hard to replicate without a factory).
Pretty sure theres some craftsmen out there who would jump at such an oppertunity if I waved the money at them.

i do know that i would rather have 47, 000 in my pocket right now, than have had the coolest bed in my elementary school class.
it is pretty nifty though :)
Ganbate!!!
They don't need to look at the price.., and the little girls that sleep in them are
stuck up little bitches that will never have to work and have there toe nails clipped
every day by someone who only gets minimum wage.. (If you are a person) who
can afford this thing, and treat every low wage earner around you like dirt..
(I hope it roles over your daughter)
