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.

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.
I would love to know if we are going to get these tables before end of May. I am in process to move, same city, 10 min away.
I second Matt’s comment. I’m okay with sharing the cost of the tariffs. After all the finger pointing is done, none of us had control over these tariffs . We need to pull together and just get this nightmare behind us. I would like to ask if you would post a list showing the names (no addresses of course) of the people getting their tables in what order. I just want to know whether I’m number 4 or number 10,004 on the list!!
Of the 2000 tables that are being shipped, do you have know the approximate timeframe they will be shipping. Do you know the carrier that your shipper will use (FedEx, UPS, etc.)?
