I'm a dancer and I travel. When I come across this roller wig this weird shape I was like is this a thing or just a fad. But I decided to buy it and test it out. So far I'm in love! Very sturdy. The weird shape definitely help with rolling out the back with those Long muscles by the spine which most normal roller can't do. Also rolling thighs and calves and flutes feel very solid and effective on knots. The only down side is when you roll your IT band it can be very painful, more painful than regular roller, but that just means that it's working magic. Rolling hurts regardless of what you use. Also small size helps with travel!

This thing hurts like a mother when you put your full weight on it, but it does the trick. Helps a ton with the back pain I get when I sleep. Also, I'm a 300lb 6'3 dude, and it doesn't break or deform under my weight. Definitely worth however many dollars I spent on it.

This product is no longer made with polypropylene rope as stated in the "product description". The statements "Tough, yet soft polypropylene rope with protective neoprene sleeve--moisture/mildew resistant" and " utilizes the healing texture of tightly spooled rope " are incorrect and the video still depicts the rope design - the seller was made aware, by me, and promised to correct this discrepancy. Now to my review - the design itself has merit ( the "double bubble" ) HOWEVER , to me at least, the one flaw is the size of the translucent urethane wheels, they're too small . When using it on a rug or mat , the double bubble, because of its small diameter, is hard to roll comfortably because your too low to the ground. Larger wheels would solve this problem by raising the unit up slightly. The "double bubble" is much smaller in diameter than a standard foam roller,approx 4 inches in height, and almost the same size as the wheels. To be fair, seller did offer for me to return the product and I declined .Little by little , I'm getting use to the uncomfortable height .The main reason, however that I kept it was the double bubble design. The center of my spine does not feel compressed when rolling on it and I can still massage up and down my back, AGAIN in my opinion, larger diameter wheels would make this a much more useful product. The high price, compared to standard foam rollers, the height off the floor and its hardness with the new foam verses the rope design are all issues to consider. I think, however, on the positive side, the double bubble design ,with the gap in the middle, provides a better lower back massage and possibly a safer one.

Update - Two positive notes , (1) after this review posted and I reported the incorrect product information that was listed, the description has been changed and any reference to polypropylene rope has been removed in the text. (2) The Seller has been more than gracious in reaching out to me to rectify my concerns with the new foam design I received. If anyone has concerns about the workmanship of this product, the seller stands by the product 100%

the end wheels are glued on, and when the glue breaks, there's nothing you can do about it. But a great product if it was better designed

UPDATE 03/06/17:

I got contacted by customer service, and they were more than happy to replace it for free! The Lifetime Guarantee is legit. Still loving the product and use it all the time.

I'm pretty sure if you wanted to design a torture device, this would be a good place to start, but it is great at breaking out those stubborn knots that I've had difficulty targeting with a flat roller. Construction is very solid and it seems like it will be very durable. Overall a great product.
