please take it from me i bought a peek-a-boo pole (before i ever heard of x-pole) and was reassured i could spin/invert on it i set it up so excited i could have burst i finally got the courage to go for a real spin and the whole pole came crashing down with me on it ouch! even if you just want to be able to do a backbend or just lean on it topose IT IS NOT SAFE those poles are prop poles which is why they are able to make/sell them for such a cheap price they should be illegal as they are VERY DANGEROUS ( what if i had tried to invert instead of spin??) and they misrepresent themselves the extra couple hundred you’ll spend on a qua;ity pole (x-pole being the only 1 i can 100% recommend) is sooooo much cheaper than the hospital bill you’ll be looking at if you injury yourself (and on a pole like that it’s just a matter of time)

i know it s expensive but you dont want to get in my situation where i spent 150$ on a peekaboo and than had to spend another $300+ on an x-pole i am actaully waiting for my second x–pole to come in (should be here 2day) i have had mine for just under a year and love it so much got another 1 (1 upstairs for spins as plenty of room but no celieng height and 2nd 1 downstairs with not enough room for most spins but great for climbing/ inverts) in some cases yuo get the cheap cersion and it works just as good but not with a pole if you buy cheap, your going to get cheaply made and dangerous please if you want a pole save your money til you can get an x or atleast a better qulaity 1 than that x is free shipping for rest of this month through this site only (saves you like 40$) you could also look into buying a used 1 cheaper they really do maintain there value as long as they are taken care of (very easy care, very eay to install/take down, totally stable.. my friends bf weighs over 200lbs and he inverts on it) better to be safe than sorry!!
