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.

Stonemeier Games and other tabletop companies are suing the government for these illegally implemented tariffs. I hope you are able to do the same as there is no way you should be responsible for these costs.
Super excited for the table and appreciate the update! These tariffs are really hurting small businesses
Thank you for the update. I support whatever decision you guys make, you have handled this whole production with grace and care. Thank you.
I think, by reading your update along with the comments that there are still many unanswered questions. I think that there are those of us who wouldn’t find a problem pitching in to assist with receiving our product. I’m sure that per table is not that bad, rather the cumulative cost is what is unexpected for you.
I too would like to see a list of the 2k tables or at least find out what position that I am in personally to have a better feel for an ETA.
Thank you
Please provide estimated timelines, including an indefinite delay category, by order number ranges, US vs non-US, and colors, or something that customers can recognize as useful in anticipating receipt. You almost certainly have a planned delivery demand schedule that uses customer order numbers, each with a unique order ID, that is internally reconciled back to production schedules to validate the delivery plan is achievable. I do not understand why you just do not share what you have?
I would empathize more with your position if you were transparent in your forecasts. Your updates only serve to relay historical progress or decision-making without actually addressing the key element of a product delivery update (i.e what is a reasonable delivery estimate for our orders).
I am not saying youve made any wrong decisions on delays to improve quality or avoid tariffs, but your messages to your customers are not actually helpful in meeting the objective of communicating a revised and realistic expectation.
