Picking a massage table out takes some consideration. This is the table you are going to hope to use for years. I bought my original table 15 years ago and it is still in good shape. I bought the best I could get at the time and never regretted it. I have gotten a lighter weight aircraft aluminum table for ease in travelling since the original is heavy wood. Both have their place in my practice.

One thing they say you should consider is re-sale value. I disagree. A used table is generally worth no more than $50-100 maximum. And the $100 is only if it is relatively new and in prime condition. Many folks buy a table and think they will get close to their cost back. Unfortunately, you lose warranty when you buy a used table, which decreases the value considerably. Namebrands matter. Popularity of size, material, foam quality also matters. Great tables can be had for under $450 now and that makes spending much more for a used one kind of silly. This is your only and most expensive piece of equipment. Don't scrimp.
