Hi Chance,
I've 'test driven' many different benches in the classes I teach with GSI and I
personally prefer
this bench over any of the others. It is solid, attractive, stable and highly
functional with
features that an SI practitioner who does a lot of work from the bench will
appreciate.
Specifically because of the unique design the side uprights allow lateral access
of the pelvis
and hips much more conveniently. The design allows it to fit flush against a
wall or table if
you prefer to work in that fashion. While the adjustment aspect takes a little
getting used to
(a little like learning to drive with a clutch) once you've mastered it no bench
is more stable
or solid. The locking pins are a nice feature that makes it ultra stable (a
complaint I have with
some of the benches I've encountered after watching a couple collapse with
people on them
in class). After I got the hang of it I could adjust the height ease.
I don't own one of these benches (only because I have a very stable, attractive
oak bench that
I've had for 12+ years) but if and/or when I'm ready to get a new bench this
will be it.
