So smart. So connected. Sobro.
Simplify your life & improve your sleep with a smart table that really multi-tasks. With wireless charging, a cooler drawer, bluetooth speakers, LED accent lights and charging, the Sobro Smart Side Table will help you live better.
So smart.
Whether you’re using it as an amazing end table, or your next gen nightstand, the Sobro Smart Side Table will seamlessly integrate and improve your life.
We're StoreBound, the team that successfully created and shipped that amazing coffee table with a refrigerator drawer, bluetooth speakers, charging, yadda, yadda, yadda. And now we're back with our next big idea.
Your life, reimagined.
We believe that furniture can help us live better. And that a side table can be so much more than a lamp holder. By incorporating smart technology into our products, we’re creating furniture that can multitask and simplify your life.
So chill.
The quiet thermoelectric cooler drawer keeps drinks cold always at hand. Silent operation makes it perfect for the bedroom so you’ll never have to get up in the middle of the night for water again.
Sleep better, wake up easier.
Intelligent sleep mode helps you create great sleep habits and keep them. The LED lights on the back of the table can simulate sunrise to help you wake up easily while the built-in white noise generator can drown out noise pollution.* A variety of pleasant sounds will be available through the Sobro App’s Smart Sleep Mode.
* No guarantee to fully cancel your partner’s snoring
A smarter nightlight.
The LED light bar on the front of the table is motion activated to guide you safely in the dark. The range for the sensor operates in a 35-45º angle and 3 meter circumference and features 2 colors, warm white and bright white. The duration that the light stays on, the color and brightness can all be controlled in the Sobro App.
Wireless charging & power.
You asked for it and we did it! Wireless charging for 2 phones is built-in to the top of the Sobro Side Table. We’ve also added 2 USB ports and 2 USB-C Ports along with 2 (120v) outlets on the back so that you’ll always stay powered up.
Bluetooth Speakers
Experience rich sound from bluetooth stereo speakers. Pair two Sobro Smart Side Tables together for even better audio output and TV audio can also be paired via Bluetooth.
Light it up.
Accent LED lights on the back of the table can be used for accent and mood lighting and are RGB. With the Sobro App, you can access a full spectrum of colors. By using the Sobro App, you will also be able to sync the lights to your music and control the brightness as well.
Contain the clutter
With our cable management system, there are 3 magnetic cord wraps on the back of the unit so that your cable clutter stays under wraps. There’s also a channel for arranging cords built into the top of the table and the back of the storage shelf so you can run your charging cords neatly behind the unit.
Future Proof
We're building in wifi connectivity so that your Sobro Smart Side Table can be updated as tech progresses, can be controlled remotely and can even incorporate IFTTT actions.

All the bells & whistles...
There are so many features & feedback we received from the first campaign really informed the functions that we've built in to the Sobro Side Table.
Don't have Sobro FOMO.
Seriously, remember when bitcoin was $100 - don't miss out on this deal. FOMO, it's the worst.
Design enhanced by technology
You could get all of this stuff on the left...OR you could just back us and enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you know you're making smart choices.
The Sobro Smart Side table replaces a lot of stuff so it saves you space too. "What are some of the things it replaces?" you ask...
A mini fridge, smart light, lockbox, magazine rack, nightlight, alarm clock, a light timer, a noise machine, bluetooth speakers, USB Hub, wireless charging pad, a table and more. Add all that up and you're looking at a lot of moolah.
Designed for all
So many backers said that they wished that there was a smaller version of the Sobro Side Table, that we wanted to make sure that the table was a fit for everyone. It's compact enough to fit inside a 350 sq. ft. studio apartment in the East Village, yet roomy enough to hold a lot of stuff.
Should you want the table to be taller, we will also make a "Lift Kit" available in 2 different heights.
The Sobro Lift Kit legs are in development but will make the table 24" or 29", tall respectively.
Our Process
We've been working hard to bring this product to life and this campaign to Indiegogo, here's a look behind the scenes into our design process...
Our Team
We have a successful track record of bringing innovative technology into unlikely spaces. In 2016, we shipped the PancakeBot, the world's first pancake printer to over 72 countries all over the world.With the Sobro Coffee Table, we raised over 1.6 Million dollars from over 2000 backers and we were able to ship it within 6 months (we're pretty sure that's some kind of record).
Perks
Be ahead of the curve and back us now to be the first to get this amazingly smart side table. Because of the incredible support that we’ve gotten from you, the Indiegogo community, we’ve decided to launch the Sobro Smart Side Table on Indiegogo and offer our backers a significant savings in order to help us bring this product to market. After the campaign ends, the MSRP for the table is $899.
Now’s your chance to be the first to get this amazing table before everyone else. The heat is on to get the deal. Unleash the hounds.
Stretch Goals
1M - If we achieve a goal of 1 million dollars, we will offer color choices of white, matte black or white/walnut finish.
Project Timeline
For the Sobro Coffee Table, we finished funding in April and shipped the table in October to backers. We're confident that lightning will strike twice in crowdfunding and we can achieve that same timetable this time around.
Why Indiegogo
We chose Indiegogo becasuse the Indiegogo platform allows us to communicate with our customers and make our backers a part of the development process. We want the community's suggestions to help us make the Sobro Smart Side Table & App an epic product and where possible, to incorporate the feedback into the final design.
Launching on Indiegogo allows us to bring this product to market faster than we would be able to without the support of our backers. We hope that you will join us in bringing the Sobro Smart Side Table to life.
FAQ
Can I claim multiple perks?
Yes, if you'd like to claim multiple perks, please make a new contribution for each perk.
What about shipping?
As you can imagine, properly protecting and shipping your Sobro Smart Side Table is expensive. The quotations we received so far have given us sticker shock. We don’t want the same to happen to you, so we are capping the maximum standard shipping charge at $29 and we will absorb the remainder. This will put the pressure on us to find the best methods available. Unfortunately, there will be an additional shipping charge for Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. The shipping charge for these locations will be $89. For international customers, the shipping charge will be $119. Shipping will be available to the US, Canada, EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway. Please note this does not include any import/tax duties imposed by Canada as we have no control over these factors.
We have already started to work with our network of logistics partners and the one factor that substantially reduces the shipping cost is critical mass. Assuming this campaign gets the monstrous support that we are hoping for, we will be able to leverage multiple ports & facilities in regions closer to our backers to reduce distance and, when shipping full truckloads, the costs plummet. If we gain enough efficiency to bring the cost below $29.00, we will pass 100% of the savings through to the most important component of this campaign - our backers. So help us help you and please share this campaign with your friends, colleagues and anyone you think needs to step toward the future.
When can I expect a delivery?
While the estimated delivery time frame is October 2018, certain factors may slightly delay the project. These include adding suggested features, improvements, obtaining appropriate certifications, and the time taken to clear customs. We will do our best to be as transparent as possible and keep you up to date on all developments. We want to make sure we deliver a quality product that you will enjoy and be proud of!
What happens if we don't reach our goal?
You will receive a full refund after the campaign has ended. With your support and sharing the campaign with friends and family, we truly hope we can get over the finish line and beyond!
Does the Sobro Smart Side Table come with a warranty?
Absolutely, we are just finalizing the details.
What happens if the project gets pushed back past the delivery date?
With crowdfunding we are expected to deliver a product that can otherwise take years to deliver.

There may be certain setbacks beyond our control, which may delay the project. However, we will always be transparent and keep you all up to date!
What about colors?
The Sobro Smart Side Table will be available in White, Black, and Wood finish should we meet our stretch goal of $1 million.

Will the Sobro Smart Side Table vary from the design above?
While we have built the preliminary design and prototypes, we may still make some minor improvements. We love hearing from our supporters and if you have any suggestions we would be more than happy to consider them.
How can I choose my color?
Everyone will have the option to select what color they would like after we reach our stretch goal of 1 million. This will be done in the form of a survey after the campaign has ended.

The money raised here on Indiegogo will go into product design and development, purchasing of materials, manufacturing and the final delivery of your Sobro Smart Side Table. Refunds will only be issued if we can not deliver the final product after exploring all possible options. We will do our best to be transparent and keep you updated on all developments.
