Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the second table ordered and received in the past two weeks. The first one was the least expensive table; upon receiving it and opening the packaging, one of the closure latches was totally pulled off, so the table was returned as damaged. Then I thought, "well, maybe I should spend a few more dollars and NOT buy the cheapest table available." What a total farce that is. The second table cost more, and is EXACTLY the same table, construction-wise. These cheaper tables ARE ALL DROP SHIPPED and made in CHINA. Don't bother spending a bit more, as you get nothing different. The description of the table on Amazon says a 450 lb weight limit. THAT IS A LIE. The instructions included with the table stated a 300 lb weight limit, and even that is a LIE. Read further into the instructions, and it is 300 POUNDS OF TOTAL DOWNFORCE ON THE TABLE. The instructions expressly state that the total weight on the table also includes THE POUNDS OF DOWNFORCE BY THE MASSAGE THERAPIST GIVING THE MASSAGE. WHO SELLS A MASSAGE TABLE WHERE THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT HAS TO INCLUDE THE FORCE OF THE MASSEUSE? A company that wants to shirk all liability and warranty on their product, that's who. SO, if/when the legs collapse, you'd have to prove that you didn't exceed the downforce applied plus the weight on the table, and if you're giving the massage and lean into the person, THAT weight has to be accounted for as well. THIS IS TAKEN RIGHT FROM THE TABLE'S OWN INSTRUCTION SHEET!!! TOTALLY DECEPTIVE DESCRIPTION VS. THE ACTUAL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS. The wood used in this table is so light you could build a model airplane with it, or a kite. About the product: PREMIUM COMFORT- really? "deluxe cushioning" and "premium" foam. Uh, NO. Ultra cheap foam and uncomfortable vinyl. Armrest wings? Yeah- too bad they just sit in the mounting holes and are not held in by anything; move your arm, the wings fall out. Durable steel support cables? I think a Flexi dog leash is much stronger than these "durable steel" cables. Precision crafted? I guess having two of the leg adjustment holes over a quarter inch off is today's definition of "precision." AND about the adjustable legs, YOU CAN'T adjust the legs to their highest position and close the table...you'd have to adjust it every time you use it and then lower it to close it. "It locks securely with two professional clasps." What a joke- the clasps look like they came off a small child's metal lunchbox. "The adjustable headrest features a premium composition support..." (I think whoever wrote this must have just found the word "premium" in the dictionary...). UH, the support is cheap plastic. AND about the headrest, just as the arm rests, does not lock into anything; it just sits there, and if you move your head it will fall out. Just setting this up and reading the directions made me hesitant to even sit on it, given the warnings in the instructions about "total load" placed upon the table. After having seen two of these Chinese drop-shipped pieces of junk, under different names, BUT EXACTLY THE SAME, I guess the answer is if you really want a safe, reliable, lasts for years table, you have to spend a few hundred dollars. Don't waste your money on this.
