    What is the max weight limit for the studioveena pole? My cousin is going to buy a pole and is wondering if she should buy this pole or go with the x-pole. I think she is around 180lbs but not sure. What is the max and what would be the best option for someone 180-200 lbs?

    All the Lil Mynx poles, as far as I recall, are rated for up to 250 lbs. I think most poles are at least that, so… go with what you like, as long as it's a reputable brand! 🙂

    For a heavier person, especially a beginner, I might recommend a fixed ceiling mount pole (like any Lil Mynx) over a pressure mounted pole like an X-Pert. I might be paranoid, but ceiling mounts just seem safer to me. I have a X-Pert because I rent and I need variable ceiling height for when I move again. I know the X-Pole manual says it is rated for higher weight limits and it is perfectly safe when installed correctly, but there is always the issue of user error. I always feel like if someone has the option to do either type, they should go for a ceiling mount. I know a lot of studios don't use pressure mounted poles because they can loosen up over time with daily use.

    PS I am happy with my X-Pert and would consider getting a permanent/vaulted ceiling mount for it for whenever I'm settled. 🙂

    Both our SV pole and xpole are great poles. I love our pole because of the finish and how user friendly it is. We rent too and I have put 3 mounts up for my SV pole 🙂 it’s not difficult to fill in the hole made for the pole.

    Thanks for the replies everyone! She bought the studioveena pole last night 🙂   I am going to save up and get a 45mm studioveena pole as well. I am tired of slipping and grip issues with my T/G xpole. Don't get me wrong, I love the xpole but I want to try something different 🙂
