The X-pole is in the house!  Available at Hollywood, Downtown and Tigard locations.  The X-pole is chromed steel, expandable from 7’4” to 9’, is either static or spinning and has a low profile articulation base for uneven floors and many other features!  I researched a lot of different poles and this one has a lot of on-line positive feedback, up in 10 minutes and easily taken apart for storage/hiding from the in-laws!
