my point was that the commercial prices are all over the lot, with very little correlation of size or material to price.

a large one will be about 4-5 board feet of lumber. at a high end of $10/BF, that's $50 of materials, plus any hardware. at a low end, it's maybe $10 of materials.

it's time. it takes time and effort to make something pretty and durable.
