Beautifully designed and built - but heavy!
Just got it in and unpacked. The good news, well, there's lots: the build really exceeds my expectations, as does the design. I think in terms of the thought that went into design and the care into the build, this table is a BARGAIN!. I just had a massage today and I WISH her table had an adjustable head cradle like this one! I feel quite uncomfortable unless I can tilt the cradle down a bit, and it's nothing to accomplish that on this one. The table is also quite attractive in a no-nonsense kind of way. The blue padded top is a might bit clinical, but that is offset by the very nice wooden legs.<br /><br />This is a very strong table! I weight 260, and when I get on this thing it doesn't budge a bit! Solid as a rock!<br /><br />The 'extras'? Well, I haven't listened to the music yet. The bolster is functional, covered by the same blue stuff as the cradle and the table. It's not PVC, but it's PVC-like, or Naugahyde-like. Stinks a bit - but I'm sure that'll dissipate after a few days of airing out. The carrying bag is very basic canvas, with outside pockets. Nothing special. However, the cradle can fit inside the table when it's folded. Not sure about the bolster.<br /><br />The bad news? Heavy! This thing is a beast! They say 35 LBS. Well, maybe. I haven't weighed it, but it's heavy. So, if you work out of one or two offices, or out of your house, this table is a great bargain and seems built to give years and years and years of service (and comes with a lifetime warrantee). But if you travel to massage/therapy gigs, I wouldn't advise this table unless you want transporting it to be part of your workout regimen. Sure you can pack it in the bag and sling the strap over your shoulder - and your shoulder and neck will let you know after you've walked a block or two. You don't want to need a massage after giving one, so don't use this as your travel table.<br /><br />But what intelligent design and kick-ass construction. It will last, and two elephants could probably mate on top of it without making a squeak (well, the elephants might, but not the table!)
