how about this one http://mariab.com/pro_pics/67.jpg at Rs 44000/- or US$543 as per website.
i am sure somebody would be able to make that one way cheaper and similar may be available in less but does it make above one smething like starkly or cheap.
if she had bought it at $170 yes it may be expensive and yes may be she can get something better as there are always better things to find or i may not consider it for my wife may be way out of our reach but it doesnt make it starkly because almost all elements are perfectly done so thats make it alright if she can buy them.
