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.

@Andrei – Great suggestion! We will keep you informed on the progress.
I appreciate you covering tariffs for some tables and recognize it’s probably not sustainable for all pledges. Have you considered a donation drive for those of us who are willing to subsidize the cost for others? I know if tariffs are covered for my delivery, I’d gladly and willingly pay into the coffers for others.
Also, if you go forward with the above, would you be comfortable giving us the average cost per table that you’re covering and the total you’re burdened with as the tariffs lie today? That might help gain sympathy. I suspect the cost is less per table than many of us expect but the total cost is way more than people realize.
Will you be able to give us an update here on the blog when the US orders from the first two containers are tagged? That way we can know whether our shipment is in the first set or not. Thanks.
I appreciate your hard work on this. This is not your fault. Maybe you want to get in on this lawsuit with stonemeier games!

@Tuomo – We’re doing what we can for now to avoid passing the cost onto backers! Thanks for bringing it up.
