Hey Mike, I used to build my own equipment until the equipment manufacturer's produced amazingly good stuff. I'd try to buy if you can then you know it's going to work correctly. Balanced Body were so great about building this and making it perfect I ask you try one first.
I loved this class! I don’t have an arm chair but I do have the Exo chair with the springs and did a great workout with that. Julian’s legacy continues💜 thank you Pilates Anytime
