Hello everyone, happy Monday!
First things first. We are full steam ahead.
2000 tables have now left the factory and are in the process of fulfillment. That is reaching 30% of the fulfillment of Kickstarter backers.
Production has now shifted to brown tables, so we’ll have a healthy mix available for international backers. We expect to finish 400 brown tables by next week. Please note that it will take a few more weeks for the tables to arrive at the port and be delivered to your doorstep.
Regarding US tariffs:
• A full container has already landed in LA and is currently being processed by customs. We’re paying those tariffs out of pocket.
• Another container is scheduled to arrive in LA in about 10 days.
• International orders are not affected by US tariffs.
We are working on getting tracking numbers for these as soon as they leave the port. Please monitor your emails.
The factory remains active and is on track to produce 400 tables per week, completing all Kickstarter orders in about 6 weeks and pre-orders in another 4 weeks.
Thanks again for your ongoing patience and support—we’ll keep you updated as things progress.

@Jessie Coffey – The number of Kickstarter backer orders is approximately 5k, not 7k! As for the current plan, we are prioritizing international orders for now, but we will keep you updated as we progress or if anything changes.
I’ve heard of a lot of production companies that are going to start having their US orders shipped to Canada, so the tariff burden can be lessened. Have you looked into doing that for these tables?
Bryan - It takes approximately 3-5 weeks for the containers to arrive at the port, and they are delivered within 10 days after clearing customs. If you need to update your shipping address, please email us at supportyarrostudios.com.
You are 30% complete with 2000 tables created. That means you have about 7000 total tables in the kickstarter, and 5000 tables left to make.
You are making 400 tables per week.
Using your math, it will take 12 weeks to complete all remaining 5000 Kickstarter tables, yet your post says you will be done in 6 weeks.
How is this possible? Are you really expecting to be done in 6 weeks, creating 800 tables a week? Or will it take 12 weeks at 400 tables a week?
Beyond that, because international orders are unaffected by additional tariffs, is the expectation that you will be fulfilling all international orders first before resuming USA orders?
Thanks for the update today.
I am willing to chip in to help pay tariff once I receive my tables.
