Geek Chic Experience Part 2: Delivery

Spoilers:  I got a Geek Chic Table recently.  Here's my experiences of getting one.  In this post, we'll cover the day it was delivered.

Saturday, August 22 was our last D&D game on our old table

Our full setup on the old table.

Using the white board for the last time.

 As our party was finishing fighting some troglodytes, we got the call.  They were going to be able to deliver the table THAT night.  In fact, they'd be arriving in an hour.  We finished up our adventure for the night and quickly cleared the area for the delivery.

So empty!

We sat there, some of the players leveling their characters, when there was the knock at the door.  THEY'RE HERE!!!!

The table goes over there

The delivery guys brought everything in and were incredible friendly, personable, and careful.

We posed with the table still on its side.

Then the guy went through all of the different pieces of the table, showing us how each piece attached.  We even got to help install stuff.  The first things to install were the white board and non-glare acrylic. (They installed the acrylic upside down, but we figured it out later.)

 Next up were the various grids and printings under the acrylic, as well as the fabric layer.  We got the space printing specifically for X-wing, Federation Commander, and similar games.  You can lay a hex   map over it so that you can play Fedcom easily, or leave it off for X-wing type games.

Then the guy showed us how to put in the leaves to turn it into a dining table.

Next came the accessories.  We got a LOT of accessories.

Specifically, we got 6 each of the counter holders, bins and cup holders.  As well as the tables for the sides without drawers.

We tested the drawers, too.

Finally, we got inner "leaf guards/desks" for having larger table top area along with an inner play space.

One of the really awesome things about this is that the guy literally ran through every piece of the table to make sure it fit and worked correctly.  Not a thing was missed.  As he went through things, he explained everything.  How to clean it. How to avoid damage.  How to use it.  Everything.  I have never experienced anyone being THAT thorough about anything before.  Super professional.

In the next part, I'll tell you all about our first experiences using the table in all of its forms.
