Hi Everyone. I’m excited about this update because we’ve delivered the first coffee tables to customers who volunteered to help with beta testing, and I’ll be sharing some of their photos and videos. We’ve delivered 5 Coffee Tables to pre-order customers and have another 3 tables that we’ve sent to people on our team for internal testing. We have sent out all of the invites for Coffee Table Beta Testers, but we haven’t yet sent out invites for Side Table Beta Testing.

Beta Table First Impressions

One of my favorite pieces of content from the testing so far is this unboxing video that Jory from our team did:

The packaging is a bit different from what we expect to ship to the majority of backers, but the assembly steps and the finished product are the same. I’m going to post a short collage below from some of our beta testers.

Overall, we’re very happy with the performance of the first couple of tables. Beta testers have helped to find a few kinks in the product packaging and software, but they’ve been relatively minor, and we already have fixes underway. One thing I think many of you will be happy with is that the tables are virtually silent. A few months ago we decided to splurge and use upgraded motor drivers, and even I was surprised by how quiet the new tables are. 

Timeline

We’ve had a relatively steady month, so the timeline hasn’t changed since the last update. We expect that the majority of Coffee Tables and Side Tables will ship in September, and the first large batch of Coffee Tables could ship as soon as the end of August. We’re working around the clock to ramp up manufacturing and get your tables delivered as quickly as possible. 

That’s all for this update! We’re very excited about reaching the milestone of having shipped the first coffee tables to customers, and we’re working to get the rest of your tables shipped as quickly as possible. As always, our small but mighty support team is the best point of contact for any order-related questions, and the best way to contact them is by emailing support@grounded.so
