Do you have any Questions?

Please read our frequently asked questions below and if you can not find your answer, please send us your question and we will answer you as soon as possible.

General

Can these be cut?

Yes.

Can I have them cut to a custom size?

Yes.

Can I put my own image on these?

Yes, as long as you are the copyright holder, or have authorization for use.

I want to convert a train table or Ikea table – how can I do that?

Take the exact measurements you want to cover. (Allow for a ⅛” variance either way on the measurement in each direction – vertical and horizontal.) Send those measurements to us using the “Contact” link. We provide ⅜” backing on the plates so you will be able to adhere the SLAB to the top of the table.

What is the cost to customize my SLAB?

The cost of customization is tied to the type and amount of customization requested. Please contact us using the “Contact” link and we will contact you as quickly as possible to discuss the options.

How can I make a SLAB table?

There are several ways! Either purchase an existing table, such as a coffee table, and take the exact measurements you want to cover. (Allow for a ⅛” variance either way on the measurement in each direction – vertical and horizontal.) Send those measurements to us using the “Contact” link. Or make your own table in 12-inch increments for an exact fit with our baseplates.

How do you hang these on the wall?

We recommend using our SLAB Framing System. The other option is more permanent, using a product such as Liquid Nails to mount the SLAB(s) to the wall. Do not screw the baseplates directly to the wall, as this will deform the shape of the SLAB and cause malfunction.

What is the thickness of the plates?

SLAB Dream Lab SLAB Lite plates are approximately ¼”.

What is on the back?

Baseplates are mounted on 3/16” MDF board to provide a rigid, sturdy foundation for your wildest build.

The 24”x24” baseplates weigh 6 lbs, and 24”x 48” baseplates weigh 12 lbs.

Does this work with DUPLO® blocks?

Yes – the ones with square bottoms, not the circular bottoms. Baseplates work with standard LEGO® bricks, DUPLO® bricks, MEGA Bloc® and other brands.

Does this line up to LEGO® baseplates?

No

Can you provide a color other than the ones shown?

Yes. We can make custom colors. The color matching process adds cost and approximately 2-3 weeks to the order processing time.

Can you provide an estimate on shipping?

You will see the shipping amount in the cart upon checkout. For specialty orders, provide us your name, email, product you want to purchase and your shipping address through the “Contact” link and we will be happy to send you a quote for shipping.

Shipping

Has my order shipped?

Our system will send you an automated email every step of the way during the life of your order. As soon as your SLAB ships – you’ll receive an email with tracking information!

Can you ship overseas?

Yes we can! The baseplates are a heavy product, which can add cost. Provide us your name, email, product you want to purchase and your shipping address through the “Contact” link and we will be happy to quote for shipping.

How do they ship?

UPS, USPS and FedEx are all options for shipping. Shipping is managed using the least expensive and quickest shipper to your address.

How long after my order is placed do they ship?

The average turn-around time for items in stock is 2-3 days. Custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending upon the customization required. For more specific information, please contact us at 877.882.4438 ext 0.

Schools & Vendors

Will it work in my classrom?

Yes it will! The only limit is your imagination. Pick a subject or theme and we will help you achieve your instructional goal in a fun-filled way. Teaching Geography? A USA map adds a new dimension to class. Science? What about a lava flow or a volcano? Or design your own custom lesson SLAB and get your students more involved.

Can I print my school logo on it?

Yes you can. A lot of our education clients have done this. Just provide us the artwork in a JPG, AI, or PDF file, of at least 300 DPI and tell us what size you’d like.
