I bought this table so I could get massages at home at reduced price because massager does not have to carry heavy table. It is not as padded as the professional table, but it is not uncomfortably hard. It has a good headpiece and an arm extender and adjustable legs for comfort of massager. Massager had no trouble assembling and setting up , giving massage and then folding table. Table is good for use at home by woman of medium size. Padding can be increased by use of beach towel underneath covering sheet.
