**Our take on fixed-rate tables**

Certainly, fixed massage tables are the most suitable choice for massage centers and spas. *But, they are much more expensive than folding tables*. *Their price can reach 3,000 euros, with a weight exceeding 40 kg.* This makes them very difficult to dismantle for transport or for use in another location, such as with your sports team, for example. Furthermore, they occupy a large amount of space, which makes storage a challenge. *Thus, the folding massage table remains the easiest to store, the most portable, and the most cost-effective.*
