ROOM - A Personal Space for The Open Office

At ROOM, we’re reimagining the modern workplace. Our first product, ROOM One, is a soundproof booth that helps you get things done. It’s engineered with recycled plastic bottles to do more by using less, and it’s easy to move around and assemble. We ship flat and sell direct to keep costs low, making ROOM One the first to solve noise at scale.

A product of the scourge of open office floor plans. Why can't we just give employees their own offices?

@hayden_evans I get what you're saying. I work in an open-space, so I know I could use a quiet place sometimes, but I also love not to to 100% of the time alone in my office. I think this product is a kind of easy solution to that.

Cost savings ($3500 vs $4500+ for most others) is mostly achieved through recycled material and looser construction, like the plastic door that magnetically adheres. Comes in flat packs as if it were Ikea furniture. These are all good things IMO. I had a chance to demo this product in person in multiple locations and was interested in buying a half dozen for my company. They said the product could take as long as 3+ months to arrive, lol? You're not scaling or solving anything if it takes a Q to fulfill an order. There are others similarly priced like Talkbox that don't have huge fulfillment issues, but they don't look as nice :)

Pros:

Great looking, seems effective and is lower cost than most competitors

Cons:

3 month lead time, floppy doors

I love the idea. I work in a beautiful open-space, so I know how sometimes it is difficult to find a place to make a phone call without bothering anyone (how many times did some of us had to lock themselves in the bathroom?). It looks beautiful and functional, bravo! I'd love to try one of them.

I've never seen such a horrible sales team/process. We've been trying to purchase a phone booth for room for over a week - we can't get any responses from the sales team, on intercom, phone, etc. It's like they've gone out of business - you can get them to reply if you create a new intercom chat but they never follow up after the first message. Absolutely horrible, we'll buy from someone else.
