This massage table is quick to set up - virtually no assembly required and in no time it's ready to go. Reversely, it's light and folds up quickly in a small, suitcase format - very convenient to carry around with a carry bag as additional protection and of course, folding up saves space when not in use. The material other than supporting legs and frames is faux leather - apparently far from as smooth as genuine leather, however, lying on it is actually quite comfortable. From my use case, it easily holds up 200lb of weight - not sure how much above that, probably should be fine for another 50lb or so.
