We are in full-blown production mode.

Hello everyone! We are excited to share that we are in full-blown production mode. We have a 3rd party that has been at the factory every day this week inspecting each table coming off the line. The pictures and video below are from them. There are certain things we wanted to make sure were consistent in the production and we are very pleased with the results!
Here is the final step in the assembly. They close the table and ensure it latches and lines up before boxing it up. These look incredible.
Below is how they store the tables as they come off the line. They have each been inspected and are looking superb.
Below shows an issue in quality control with the early tables. We did not have a way to connect the corners to the long rail parts. Our solution was pegs molded into the corner pieces to line them up every time and these are all looking perfect. We received many pictures like the one on the right. They all look exactly like this!
Below is a process we added that regulates and increases the material used on the HDPE table pieces increasing their strength and eliminating flexibility.
Another quality control issue (below) that was sorted is the varying gaps between the table pieces. This was due to holes that connected the metal frame to the table that were not precise. The new tables have these holes molded and are precise and consistent.
The product has shipped. We made as many tables and accessories as we could before heading into the Chinese New Year. The amount is just under 300 units. These are just going stateside for now so we can evaluate the final step of the process. Check your email, as many of you should be getting tracking numbers sooner. Also if you receive one of these first tables please reach out immediately with your feedback! Thank you
We should wrap production at the end of February, and then stuff will go out immediately. Watch for tracking around the first of March.
If you look closely below you will see shipping labels!
Thanks for checking out the update and joining us on our blog! We will be attending the comments here!

PS I made these space map books a long time ago and we just found another 1000 sitting in our warehouse. They are spectacular and have many cyberpunk maps as well as fold-out spaceships. These were expensive to produce and are on our site for $99. That said we want to get rid of them to make room in our warehouse so get as many as you want while there is inventory for $20 a piece using code MAPBOOK80

I’d love to get 4 of the map books!!!!
Tell me how and I’ll send you $$
Hi,
I’m also curious when you planning shipment to the UK. When I order the table I’ve been told it will be February.
I really appreciate the attention you are putting toward the finer details. Also on correcting any QC issues, as minor as some may seem. Going to make the finished product that much better. More and more I am reassured that this will be a great investment. Thank you for your continued efforts and updates. I am anxious to experience it first hand.
This is great. I would assume that depending on shipping, it will be middle of April until England starts to get tables. Going by how long it takes for a ship on average (28-38 days) and then customs.
Any updates about when shipping will begin for Europe? I’m in the UK and was hoping to have heard about it by now!
