They are very handy to have, though my Lafuma wins hands down in a contest between the two! This is probably because I'm tall and find the therapist stool bit of the Pedistool rather high. I like to work with the feet roughly at solar plexus height. I use the Pedistool only with pregnant clients to save my back. If anyone wants to have a go on a Pedistool (or indeed a Lafuma) and is happy to travel to my house, just PM me. It's nice to try these things out, I think.
