The reason I differentiate between industrial and commercial is that most commercial designs are just playing to a green-washed market, not selling things that are noticeably better for the world, sold in a way that's inline with those values. Have you done a proper analysis of the environmental impact of sourcing these materials, manufacturing the product, and shipping it to consumers?
At the moment, I don't feel like you've sold me or the customers that your product is better than the $28 bed shelf available on amazon, which is admittedly a little more expensive than I expected. So it feels like you're charging more for the same product. If you're comparing this to a hardwood piece of furniture instead of a plastic doohickey, you should advertise as if it is one, and plan your market accordingly. If your claim is that its better for the world, how much better than a plastic version? Than an end table? How much worse is it than just putting my stuff on the floor?
When you compare shipping 4 pounds across the country (twice I assume) it might be that a plastic version is actually more sustainable, since its lighter.
Economies of scale also certainly factor in here - your mailing issue is a prime example, but some of those costs can be leveraged too. Sure, you may never produce enough of these to get a 100k unit discount from your bamboo supplier, but you're still putting money into sustainable suppliers networks - if you're sourcing from a sustainable company and not just the lowest bidder.
