MOVI Add-on Standing Desk

Hi @Joseph. Let me provide a little more information for you about shipping. Unfortunately due to the size and weight of the desk and packaging (the package is 136cm long by 76cm and weighs around 15kgs), we have to use sea freight and then ground transport to make the cost of delivery more economical. If we didn't do this approach and we airfreight all of the products from our factory to our backers as soon as they are ready, then the cost is around $300-$400 per desk, which means we would have made a massive loss on the campaign. As a result, grouping orders together by country has been the most economical way to send out orders. We hope you can understand.

disappointed with the latest production and shipping up date. I thought shipping priority is usually based on pledge order and not regional.

Hey MOVI team! So, I'm assuming the mid June delivery timing is probably not going to happen since we haven't heard anything and it is mid June already. Or do you have a surprise for us? What is the current timeline?

Dear MOVI team, Any news on the update that was supposed to be sent on Monday? Rgds
Steven

Hi backers! Apologies we have been a little quiet lately. A lot has been happening here since the last update. Production is well and truly underway. We will provide you with a detailed update on Monday as well as an update on delivery. The final product is going to be very impressive and we're very happy with the quality we've achieved in the manufacturing process. Thank you again for your support, patience and understanding, it means the world to us! Daniel & Team MOVI.

Yes. Update would be nice. I think we all have been patient for you. I know this is nearly coming to an end but 8 updates so far is kinda sad.

Any updates on shipping? Wish I could count down the days until my new standing desk arrives.

Hey Movi Team! Since we’re heading very close to the expected shipping deadline, can we get an update? Thanks!

Are we still getting this next month?

Hi everyone - we've just published an update now, you should receive an email notification. @Charlie, all is going well, there haven't been any noticeable design modifications, so all is still looking very much as you saw in the campaign. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks. Daniel

Hey MOVI team! Wondering if there are any updates. How things are going, where you are in the process, any modifications to the design, ships dates still looking good...

Hi everyone, just letting you know we're putting together an update that we'll be sharing next week with how things are progressing. All is going well! Stay tuned.

Any update?

Congrats on getting funded guys, looking forward to standing up to my new MOVI!!

Hi Daniel, if I may suggest, whether its possible to have a release mechanism so that in the event of motor failure, the whole desk can be flattened? Maybe a mechanism that is secured with allen key as in it has to be deliberately done to release. Appreciate your commitment, and I really wished you all the success of this project.

Hi @Steven Lee, thanks for backing our project. In response to your questions:
1) We are heavily testing MOVI and aiming for a 5 year warranty period (this is about 12,500 cycles of up and down). Should there be a fault, we will be happy to replace it. If the motor fails, the desk remains fixed in the position it stopped in. We are using a high quality motor manufacturer that powers many of the world's biggest brands in handheld electric motor equipment, so we are very confident of the reliability.
2) There are 2 x USB charge ports built into MOVI on the UI, which have been placed in very convenient locations for charging. For cable management, we are designing a separate clip-on product, which will attach to the back of MOVI, as well as other accessories such as monitor arms.
3) That is definitely not our plan. As you can see from the timeline, this project has been in the works for a few years already. Our aim is to take on the big guys like Varidesk and Human Scale, because we believe we have a superior product. Our aim is to build our own team and bring more products to market that create healthier workplaces.
Please feel free to ask any more questions.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Movi team, Some questions
1. What happens when the motor breaks down, can we operate MOVI in a mechanical manner or it become a flat surface?
2. Is there any cable management facilities provided to help users with cables such as powercables to the monitors and also in case users want to have additional USB chargers etc.
3. Is there any commitment from the MOVI team NOT to do what OPLOFT project do : raise funds for a project, and then sold the project off before delivery to their backers? That project was so nasty to the backers. Best regards

Hi @Ja Ho, thanks for backing. Definitely in the future we're looking bluetooth and wireless charging. At this stage the 2 x USB ports will be regular charging USB ports. We have been considering fast charge posts and possibly USB-C, but these are both quite new, so we're not sure if they're essential right now. Happy to hear your feedback on this. Thanks for your support!

Is there any room or plans to implement a wireless charging area?

Hi @SP Mugler, thanks for backing. MOVI comes in 1 size only at this stage. This allows us to create a mechanism that can provide height adjustment for users up to 6' 4" tall. A smaller desk would mean that MOVI wouldn't elevate as high. Definitely something for the future though. The footprint is 42" wide and 21" deep, designed to fit most regular office desks. Thanks, Daniel

I got excited with this project but then I realized it's too big for my desk. Is it possible for you to add a smaller version for this Kickstarter? A 30-34" wide footprint would work for me. (My desk is 24" deep but I could handle overhang with the 21" footprint.) There might be more market appeal with an additional compact version.

Hi Bryan. The footprint of MOVI is actually smaller than the bench top space, being 106cm by 54cm deep. There will be a little but of overhang but it's more than fine. It essentially just enlarges your workspace bench top area. You'll need to check if it's hard up against the wall. Usually we would place MOVI in the centre of the table and there would be a little bit of overhang front and back. Hope that helps!

My desk is only 60cm deep and attached to the wall...will this fit? Seems like there'll be an overhang if this is 70cm deep, would that be safe?

Hey @Rob-Chris, thanks for backing our project! We have single units, a duo pack and a 5 pack available. Looks like you found what you were after. Thank you for the support!

Hey Guys, great looking product. How can we back two units at the same time?

A big THANK YOU to all our backers! It's been a great start to the campaign already. We have a lot of things planned next week to spread the word far and wide. And if you have any feedback or suggestions, please drop us a line. Have a great day. Thanks!

Today, we super excited to be offering you the most elegant and ergonomic standing desk on the market, available via Kickstarter now! Over the past 4 years, we’ve tried just about every standing desk on the market. It’s always been our mission to make workplaces healthier, and and to not compromise on design in the process. We firmly believe that MOVI is the absolute best sit-stand product available. We’re excited to you a product that combines the best of design and health. Happy standing! Daniel & Team MOVI.
