MINI Trunk-Maker, any experience?

Hey I came across this web cite the other day and this looks like a good idea. Does any one have any experience with this thing?

http://www.trunk-maker.ca/

Some times when I fold my seats to carry something large I hate that its not on the same level as the trunk. This makes whatever is there to sit at an angle and its not as stable.

I'm just wondering, has anyone used it?
Also from the picture it looks like its the 1st gen mini, I wonder if it will be a perfect fit or not for the 07+ R56.

Looks similar to the "boot box" that OutMotoring sells. The boot box does the same thing and has a wonderful union jack on the top of it... I've thought about buying it several times...

Looks pretty cool- site could use some larger photos though, as I don't quite get a feel for the product. (at least not enough to buy one). You should get one! And then post pics! (lol. j/k)

Looks nice, but I just don't think I'd pay $170 for a board covered in carpet.

+1.
Go to home depot and buy some Masonite and cut it to fit and save yourself $165
