340 End Table on Kickstarter: Finally, Furniture That Admits You Own Too Much Tech
- 37 minutes ago
- 8 min read

The 340 End Table on Kickstarter doesn't pretend your peripherals don't exist.
It assumes they do — and designs around them.
Modern homes are quietly overwhelmed by gear. Controllers on the coffee table. Headphones hanging off desk edges. Steam Deck charging on the floor. Mechanical keyboards rotating between rooms. Cables breeding in drawers.
Most furniture ignores this reality.
The 340 End Table doesn't.
With over $302,000 raised from 605 backers and 29 days remaining, it's clear Arcanium has tapped into something real: tech clutter isn't going away. The question isn't how to hide it. It's how to live with it intelligently.

Quick Verdict
A premium modular end table built for people who treat peripherals as infrastructure, not accessories.
Who Is It For?
The 340 End Table on Kickstarter makes sense for households where tech isn't temporary.
If you rotate between PS5, Xbox, and Switch. If you own a Steam Deck and at least one mechanical keyboard. If your headphones don't fit neatly inside a drawer and your charging cables never seem to stay where you put them — this table was built with you in mind.
It's not minimalist furniture. It's not décor-first design.
It's furniture for people who have accepted that their living space includes hardware.

Is the 340 End Table Worth Backing?
If tech clutter creates visible friction in your living space and you've been looking for furniture that accommodates it instead of forcing you to hide it, the 340 End Table addresses that directly.
What Problem Is the 340 End Table Actually Solving?
Furniture was designed for books, lamps, and coasters.
Not for USB hubs. Not for controller ecosystems. Not for handheld consoles that need daily charging.
So we adapt. We stack gear. We hide cables behind shelves. We turn surfaces into unofficial charging stations. It works — but it's friction.
The 340 End Table on Kickstarter addresses that friction directly.
Instead of adding storage, it adds structure. Inside the drawer box sits a powder-coated steel parametric grid. Attachments made from anodized aluminum click into place. Each one is purpose-built: controller caddies, keyboard racks, headphone hooks, bins.
Cable routing is integrated. USB cables run through a bottom channel, into the drawer, and up through attachment pass-throughs. Magnetic clips organize everything behind the grid.
This isn't generic storage.
It's storage engineered for specific devices.
How the 340 End Table System Works
The table arrives nearly assembled. You mount the grid on the left or right side — reversible later if your layout changes.
Each unit includes three attachments. You can expand over time or configure aggressively from the start.
The Attachment System: Small, Medium, Large
Attachments are grouped into three size categories based on grid space they occupy.
Small Attachments:
Mouse Caddy: Tested with Logitech MX Ergo S, Logitech G305
Small Bin: Dice, cables, ink bottles, batteries
Small Shelf: Small mice, memory cards, adapters
Medium Attachments:
Controller Caddy: Tested with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 1 Pro, Switch 2 Pro
Headphone Hook: Tested with Logitech G432, Koss Porta Pro, Sony XM4
Medium Bin: Small remotes, pens, charging blocks
Medium Shelf: Display items, Instax cameras, Field Notes notebooks
Large Attachments:
Handheld & KB Rack: Tested with Steam Deck, Switch 2, 60%-75% keyboards
Full KB Rack: Tested with 80%-100% keyboards
Large Bin: Long remotes, fountain pens, miniature paints, hand tools
Large Shelf: Compact LEGO displays, tools
Small, medium, large categories define the ecosystem. And compatibility isn't theoretical.
Steam Deck. Switch 2. 60–100% keyboards. PS5 controllers. Logitech mice. Sony headphones.
Someone tested this.
That matters.
Cable Management Integration
Cable routing is what separates the 340 End Table from generic storage furniture.
USB cables run through a snag-resistant channel at the bottom of the unit, into the drawer, and up the back of the grid. Strategic pass-throughs in attachments let cables exit exactly where needed.
Magnetic cable clips organize cables on the back of the grid.
Optional vented cover plates ($14.99 for 3-pack) hide cables entirely if you want an even cleaner look.
For tech-heavy setups where cable management usually becomes an afterthought, this level of integration matters.
Materials and Build Quality
On the outside, it's restrained hardwood.
Solid wood on high-touch surfaces. Hardwood ply with real veneer elsewhere. Water-resistant finish. Three oak finishes plus a walnut upgrade ($109).
On the inside, it's industrial.
Steel grid. Aluminum attachments. Soft-close drawer slides. A proprietary anti-tipping feature that auto-deploys when opened.
This dual personality — domestic exterior, engineered interior — is what differentiates it from typical "gaming furniture."
Wood Construction
High-touch areas — the top and front face — use solid wood. The rest of the exterior is hardwood plywood with real wood veneer. All wood surfaces are treated with water-resistant finish.
Standard finishes: natural oak, espresso oak, black oak.Walnut upgrade: $109 (uses solid walnut for top/front, real walnut veneer elsewhere).
Metal Components and Hardware
Attachments: Anodized aluminum (lightweight, durable, visually clean).Grid: Powder-coated steel sheet (durable, ferrous for magnetic cable clips).Drawer: Soft-close slides with proprietary auto-deploying anti-tipping feature.
340 End Table Price and Reward Tiers
The 340 End Table on Kickstarter launches with an Early Bird bundle priced at $569, representing a $130 discount from the planned $699 MSRP.
Each Early Bird pledge includes:
One 340 End Table (natural oak, espresso oak, or black oak)
One modular steel grid (white or black)
Three attachments of your choice (any size category, white or black)
Estimated shipping for Early Bird backers begins in September 2026.
Available Upgrades
Backers can upgrade to a walnut version for $109 (MSRP $139). This includes a solid walnut top and front face, with real walnut veneer applied to the remaining exterior panels.
Add-Ons and Expansion Options
The modular system allows expansion beyond the included three attachments:
Additional 340 End Table: $569 (includes 3 attachments, limited to 2 per backer)
Small Attachment: $19.99 (MSRP $24)
Medium Attachment: $24.99 (MSRP $29.99)
Large Attachment: $29.99 (MSRP $39.99)
Vented Cover Panels (3-pack): $14.99
Blank Plates (Small, 2-pack): $14.99
Blank Plates (Tiny, 2-pack): $12.99
The attachment pricing is reasonable for anodized aluminum hardware, especially given the modular longevity the system promises.
Shipping Costs
Shipping is not included in the pledge price and will be collected later via the pledge manager.
Estimated ranges:
USA: $50–100
Canada: $150–200
UK: $240
Europe: $240–320
Asia: $300
Australia/New Zealand: $350
Rest of World: $160–370
For international backers, total landed cost becomes substantial. This is solid hardwood furniture with metal components — not lightweight flat-pack décor.
At $569, the 340 End Table sits firmly in premium territory. But it competes with high-end hardwood cabinetry, not entry-level storage units. The real evaluation isn’t sticker price — it’s whether it meaningfully reduces daily friction enough to justify permanence in your living space.
Why the 340 End Table on Kickstarter Is Getting Attention
Furniture designed for gaming and tech has historically leaned either utilitarian (purely functional, not attractive) or lifestyle (attractive, not functional).
The 340 End Table attempts both.
Outside: clean oak end table that fits living rooms.Inside: custom tech storage with engineered cable management.
The modular grid system differentiates it from generic storage furniture. You're not adapting gear to fit furniture. You're designing furniture layout around your specific gear.
That flexibility — combined with tested compatibility for popular devices and integrated cable management — positions it as furniture for tech households rather than tech furniture trying to hide in living spaces.
The campaign's steady funding also reflects something important: this isn't novelty furniture. It's infrastructure.
Production Timeline and Fulfillment
Arcanium’s rollout plan for the 340 End Table on Kickstarter follows a structured, phased schedule:
February 2026: Kickstarter campaign launch
April 2026: Design for Manufacturing (DFM) finalized and pledge manager survey distributed
May 2026: Wave 1 production begins
July 2026: Wave 2 production begins
September 2026: Wave 1 rewards ship (Early Bird backers)
November 2026: Wave 2 rewards ship
The timeline builds in a manufacturing transition period between campaign close and scaled production, with shipping staggered to prioritize early backers. As with any furniture campaign involving overseas production, the key variable will be execution across these production waves rather than the dates themselves.
Where Execution Matters
Arcanium has shipped two product lines before — both US manufactured. The 340 End Table represents their first overseas production run (Vietnam).
That increases complexity. International logistics. Customs. Multi-country component sourcing. Third-party fulfillment.
They've planned for this: local quality control oversight, timeline buffers, vetted logistics partners, alternative manufacturer options.
Still, overseas furniture production adds risk surface.
Quality Control Approach
Hiring local quality control expert to oversee Vietnam production.Vetting alternative manufacturers for parallel or supplemental manufacturing if needed.
Timeline buffers built in for customs clearance and unexpected delays.
Supply Chain Complexity
Components sourced from multiple countries must be delivered, inspected, assembled, and packaged overseas before international transport and final delivery via third-party logistics.
Lead times evaluated. Shipping timelines estimated. Customs clearance times factored in.
Kickstarter funding validates demand.
It doesn't validate execution.
Sustainability and Longevity
The modular system is the long-term play.
Instead of replacing the table when your gear changes, you swap attachments. The base remains. High-wear areas use solid hardwood. Steel and aluminum components are recyclable.
It's not marketed as "eco."
It's designed for durability.
Which is better.
Long-Lasting Design Philosophy
Modular system allows base unit to remain unchanged while attachments adapt. Solid hardwood on high-touch surfaces (long-wearing, durable). Thick bent sheet metal for grid and attachments. Mechanical fasteners and easily replaced components support serviceability.
Recyclability
Steel grid and aluminum attachments disassemble for recycling at end of life.
Who Is Behind the 340 End Table?
Arcanium was founded in 2020 by Kevin and Ben — gamers and PC builders first, furniture designers second.
The name "Arcanium" comes from a homebrewed magic crystal from their D&D campaign. Their product naming scheme (the triple-digit number system) is based on Monster Manual page numbers. The warhorse is on page 340.
They've brought two product lines to market already, both US-manufactured. They make things they want in their own lives.
Their philosophy: good product design starts with making things you actually need.
That shows in the details. Cable management integration. Compatibility testing with specific devices. Modular flexibility.
Availability and What Comes Next
The 340 End Table is currently exclusive to Kickstarter. Shipping begins September 2026 for Wave 1, extending into November for Wave 2.
No confirmed retail timeline has been announced. Kickstarter pricing offers a $130 discount versus $699 MSRP.
If Arcanium executes cleanly, the 340 End Table on Kickstarter could become a reference point for modular tech furniture — a category that barely exists outside of utilitarian office storage and gamer-aesthetic RGB chaos.
If overseas manufacturing introduces inconsistency or delays, it risks joining a long list of well-designed furniture campaigns that struggled with delivery.
The concept is solid.
The friction it addresses is real.
The only variable left is execution.
FAQ About the 340 End Table on Kickstarter
Can I install the grid on either side of the table?
Yes. The grid installs on the left or right side of the drawer. You choose during setup, and you can swap it later if needed. Takes a few minutes.
What wood finishes are available?
Standard options include natural oak, espresso oak, and black oak. A walnut upgrade is available for $109 (MSRP $139), which uses solid walnut for the top and front face, with real walnut veneer on hardwood plywood for the rest.
