ok. ok. who really knows until you try it? My pole'n'stage is on it's way. I can't freakin' wait. I have to admit, I printed out a bunch of pages from the platinum & other websites & took them with me to 2 different hardware stores to check the prices.
It IS TRUE, you can buy the regular pole/without stage for much less.
But, there pros & cons to constructing it yourself.
Since I'm poor, a cheap skate, incredibly busy, without the necessary power tools, and also RENTING the home i live in, I made a decision to go ahead & buy this pole for the "STRIPPER CAMP" workshop for the 2004 Sex Worker Arts Festival here in Tucson based on my pros & cons list.
After seeing the video(s) many times, looking like a C.S.I. agent for faults, reviewing their return policy, and speaking with 2 of the best customer service people on the face of the planet, I went ahead & spent $508 on a stage, pole, & shipping.
This is a lot of money to me. Comparing prices, testimonials, thoroughly reviewing their return policy, and finding out that I probably wouldn't be able to pull off the construction as well as they do (practice makes perfect)....I decided this would be a great investment.
When the festival is over,
-I will have a pole& stage for tucson dancers to come & practice & teach on in the privacy of our own homes/humiliation.
-I have a pole & stage should I decide to take The Dance Loft up on teaching stripper class once a week.
-I have a pole & stage should I decide to do private parties.
AND it looks hella nice, not some dinky thing.
Trust me, as soon as i get it from UPS & set it up, I WILL let you all know how it goes.

Also, I feel that having the stage a couple of feet up leaves me less room to do pole tricks. AND, I was not willing to spend over $500 for something I could get for $75-80. However, if you feel that you made a good investment, then that is all that matters!! 
and I think this would be a great present thatd I'd buy for myself. But I have a dumb question about the pole. I want the new spinning removable pole(for $299.)because I do live in an apt and it seems like I move quite a bit. But-my ceilings are super old and they have that flocked snow lookin stuff on it.
My question is- how well will it be stable having the "snow" ceiling? And I'm curoius of what the ups would cost me? I also want to make sure I buy the right size- so I just bust out the tape measure and measure ceiling to floor? Is there a good standard apt height pole? I just want to make sure this is really an investment I'd like to buy. Any Help??


I'm sure you have questions for them - this is the place for them.

s? i really hope that's not true because i have a policy to never do business with companies that spam. i think the representative on here will correct me if that's wrong.
