Did they commission 6th grade woodshop class to make these?

Even at 20 bucks it's 15 dollars too pricey.

No to be unkind, but is this a joke?

I love the hand-drawn schematics at the bottom.

Yes, sounds like a joke.

I'm pretty sure they wood they used is the same wood you would find on a Fodera Monarch 
... And it adds to the sound of the pedals !!! Hehehehehe

I made my pedal board in a very similar design to that...took me about 15 minutes with a piece of wood I found on the street.
i'll give you 20 bucks for it.
Maybe that's what the 'cute' little cubbies are for underneath? Don't think it a negative, think of it as 'value added / feature laden' !!
LOL probably a rogue employee.... but seriously if I'm paying $20 for this it better be hand delivered with some of that dollar store bourbon by Mr. Rondo himself!
Hey!! I know what I can do with that!................................. BURN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you already have a shop and already have a half sheet of plywood from another project, a bottle of Barges that isn't dried up and can cadge an end of a roll of rat-fur somewhere, yeah, $20 is a joke. But for the guy who takes his instrument to his "guitar guy" to put a toothpick and elmers in a loose strap peg hole, it's a bargain. By time he came up with materials at Home Depot, full sheet of decent, not great 1/2 or 5/8 ply, a pint can of contact cement, paint and 2 linear feet of rat-fur IO carpet. He's going to be over $20 cash outlay already. Now value his time at a conservative $9.00 an hour and he's at close to $60 dollars if he doesn't have to search too long to find that funny wrench that let's him change the blade on his old skilsaw and can make reasonably close to 90 degree cuts without messing up a couple of times first. For HIM, $20 and a little shipping is a bargain and a nice alternative to the non-powered pedal boards that start at $50 at places like sweetwater. If you went in as a stranger to a woodworking shop and asked him to make you the same thing as the rondo board, at the same level of (non) quality, It'll be A LOT more than $20 something. In that light I think the rondo board does have a market and like most rondo stuff is reasonably good for what it costs.
I know some pedals whose build quality would totally be appropriate for this board
