I never write reviews, but have to say I'm really impressed by this device! I have some bulging/herniated discs in my lower back that cause a lot of pain for me on a regular basis, especially with extended sitting. Spinal decompression was recommended by a doctor I saw, but they wanted to charge me 6 grand for 24 sessions with new computerized machine for decompression (forget the name) I would love to do that treatment, but can't fathom spending that amount of money without knowing whether it will permanently solve my pain pain issues. I went home and did some research into home decompression tables, but I dislike hanging upside down. I found this one and ta da! It works pretty well for the price! I usually use it for about 15 mins every couple of days, and it provides a pretty strong stretch. The only drawback are 1) my arms do get a little uncomfortable after a while, and 2) it is a little wobbly. It's not as fancy as a computerized decompression machine, but it relieves my pain quite a bit and am hoping it will help more permanently heal my back with continued use. To me very worth the price! It does make my back a little achy during the treatment, so I suggest working up to a stronger stretch gradually, and getting up off it slowly and letting your body adjust after a session, but within 20 mins or so I get wonderful relief!

So this was one of the easiest gadgets to put together. I thought it was going to take me forever so it sat for a couple weeks before I worked on it. But low and behold, the screws were already in place and you just have to unscrew it and attach the correct part. It's pretty solid but can also be placed against a wall or in a closet for storage. As far as its purpose, it felt great! I could feel the stretch really well in my lumbar. Background-So apparently my hip is twisting and starting to get scoliotic therefore causing a pinch in some nerves. This stretches my spine for some relief. Wish I could lay on it all day. I'm 5'2" 147lbs and its very comfortable in my opinion. There's no way you can get stuck on this and spinning the handle is pretty easy to turn in either direction. I highly recommend over an inversion table, which I also have. Decompression at a chiro can run $50+ a visit so its worth the price. Good luck and hope everyone gets some relief!!!

CONS: this device is heavy, cumbersome to move, difficult to use and, because of its design, doesn't provide much focused traction on the lower back. The design has two fixed points, the ankles and the armpits. The traction movement pulls on the ankles, not directly on the spine. The armpit fixed point is a problem because the user must turn a small wheel that activates a gear mechanism to stretch out the legs. Because of the angles when laying on the table, I found it almost impossible to activate the mechanism while the feet and armpits were locked in place. As a result, I got very little traction effect. In addition, on a thin carpet, body weight made it almost impossible to turn the wheel that activates the outward stretching movement.PROS: for the price it appeared to be reasonably well made. I did not find it difficult to assemble.The review title sums it up for me. Well built. Poorly designed.
