If you have not already bought a table here is some advice. When shopping for a table they will list what weight they are rated for a with that any table worth its money would not be rated for anything less than 300+ pounds in fact many will be rated above 400+. As for length that is where you may have issues if you do not want your feet overhanging the end of the table though some table may offer extenders for that but you are adding more to the cost. There are two main base types of massage tables wood and metal.

Wood tables are nice and are usually rated to heavier weights and thus they are stronger. However with all that Wood tables will also be heavier in weight. If you are only going to be storing in a corner of a room or closet when not used and it pretty much stays in the same residence it should be fine but carrying it around it will get heavy to carry and thus a cart will be a very much needed asset. If you buy a used one check for any cracks, splits in the wood, and or look for any repair work to the wood the same for the cushion as well.

As for the metal tables they can be rated for heavy weights as well but check the descriptions carefully on that. Metal Tables overall tend to be lighter in weight than a wood table so easier to carry from place to place if you want to travel around to different places. If buying used like in the wood look for any cracks, in the case of metal rust, and or touch up paint (that could be hiding issues). Like on the wood table check the fabric on the cushion as well.

On both tables check for adjustability in height, While tables are usually made to be adjustable for different heights look to see how it is done on the table. My advise if you come across a table with a push in table to move the leg up/down pass it. its better to have one that screws through the leg or at least a pin. The push pins will wear out more over time and thus if not set right could suddenly drop when weight it placed on it.

Hope this all helps
