I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't used it yet, but I did put my Yorkie on it, just to test it, and he stood still immediately when in the harness!  From what it looks like, I think it will be a major time saver, plus my back and legs will thank me for not having to sit on the floor anymore while grooming my Yorkie.  Not to mention the endless shifting and moving my pup around to get to all sides.
