Going through massage school people…
Going through massage school people often about how much they love oakworks tables; how that, despite the expense, that they were well designed and 'worth the price tag'.
I was quite proud when I bought my first one: the hand crank hydraulic table and boyance face cradle. At the time, I shelled out shy of $5000 for everything($4300 for the table $800 for the cradle and arm rest, and then a freight delivery fee).
What a terrible mistake.
Within a year the hydraulic failed and needed to be serviced. The table wobbled and creaked and would some time pop and the table height would drop for no reason. I reached out to the company to see how they would address it and to my shock, they offered NO assistance, but recommended a service provider who could repair the table hydraulics. A requested service, which they quoted would cost $600(the closest service agent was 2 states away and they'd have to travel).
For 6 weeks I had a wobbly table that I had to prop up with slats and rolled up towels. It was embarrassing. My clients would nervously ask me if the table was safe. I had clients drop off my book: "No offense, let me know once you get a new table".
I finally got a local contractor to fix the hydraulic for $230, but a year later, they failed again.
So I had to throw away a $5000 dollar massage table, I replaced with a Chinese table from ebay that was worked reliably ever since.
This table was expensive garbage, and taught me a costly lesson. I'd recommend people to stay away from the brand. You're safer with a cheap Chinese table.
