This thing is heavy. It's very big. So it's not easy to fold and store, especially if you plan to use it daily. It takes up my living room. It took about an hour to put together. I hated the shoulder guards. We had to take those off. It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't hang my arms. The shoulder thing defeats the purpose of hanging and decompressing. The padding is very thin. I might get some memory foam to put over it. It is uncomfortably hard. The way my back is bowed it's incredibly uncomfortable. I have to have my husband stuff a blanket under my upper back to tolerate the lower back pain. I normally have to bend my legs to be able to lay on my back for a short time. Obviously I can't do that on this, so I have to bend forward. I have ddd plus two bulging discs and bilateral spinal stenosis. Plus arthritis, and a few more things. My lumbar back is cooked. This table actually made me hurt pretty bad while I was on it. It was a minute, two tops. Like I said, I needed to be bent a little to take the pain down. If you don't have any junk in your trunk and your back goes straight into your bum, then this might not be painful. But if you've gotta little cush in your tush, plus a bad lumbar, this may be painful and make things worse without modification. I can't use a lumbar pillow as that hurts majorly bad. I had high hopes this inversion table would help relieve pressure, but so far it only hurts more. And I was cramping all night and all day the next day. I had to take some muscle relaxers and they only put a dent in the pain. If you can find one of these with a ton more padding, I'd get that instead. But even then, unfortunately these tables may just make some of us worse.
Also, one of the handles had some quality issues.
