How SMOOTH Is this. Are There Any Seams That Cause A Rough Spot When Gliding? I have had a couple Total Gym type devices and where they fold it BUMPS

It's smooth as long as you move smoothly. There aren't any seams in mine. Mine doesn't bump.

It is made of metal, so it is not completley smooth. That being said, I would describe it as a smooth surface.

It is really smooth on pavement not good on sand as another reviewer stated. Did not do well on gravel. Overall it is a good buy once you figure out how to remove the tray. It's pretty well padded. It folds easily. It's a good price for what it is. Hope this helps!

yes, it sounds like a defective unit, it shouldn't slide as you've described it. good luck.

My wife and I use ours on fairly rough paved trail riding. Lots of cracks and bumps we hit at 20 mph or so. Our phones (in our cases even) don't pop loose. Also, the ball mount swivel thing seems sturdy enough not to change position. Over time it may loosen (that's my worry) but that is only speculation. Haven't had any problems with ours. Make sure your phone is clamped in tight.

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

It glides fairly easily unless using a deeper setting like 2mm. Applying hyaluronic acid helps.

I had used one in physical therapy. The smooth side was up, but I suppose it might work either way if it doesn't slip or slide.

I have only used it once and was pretty happy with it. We had rented a similar one and it was much more durable. I did find the one we rented and it was double the price. I had 4 children in it for a few hours and did not notice any open seams afterwards

It does have a bit of a texture on the board but nothing distinct enough to keep it from moving. Just keep your fingers light and your wrist up so there is not so much weight pressing down and it should glide as smoothly as needed.

Dear Chris, it is extremely smooth on the back. I myself, have heavyweight items attached so I needed to screw it in. Good luck, have a great and blessed day!

It's normal. The rails don't always match perfectly. It happens on my machine all the time. You get used to itI should say that mine is a slight but noticeable bump though nothing that would interrupt my workouts. If yours is significant, check to make sure everything is locked down and if not, contact Bayou Fitness.

It's smooth, but I don't consider it slippery. If it was, I'm pretty sure I would have dropped it at least once for that reason.

No, it's very seamless and comfortable. The only thing I would say to watch out for is if you are moving the mattress around. I was dragging it into place one day and it almost felt like I could've ripped it where the folds are. The seams are strong there, I just didn't want to test it.

I used it a smooth top for 2 hours and it was NOT damaged. I guess there is different smooth tops because some people can have problem. I took the risk but so far, good.

Yes it is very good. That was a huge issue for me. Since switching from a pro glide to this about 9 months ago it is a total non issue.
