REFORMER/TOWER FEATURES
MITERED CORNERS
Crafted from a selection of optional hardwoods, the frame utilizes mitered corners joined together with a triple locked blind dovetail insert.
DECORATIVE INLAYS
Decorative inlays complement the corners giving the Root reformer the look of fine furniture.
MORTISE AND SPLINE CONSTRUCTION
The legs are joined to the frame with mortise and spline construction.
HAND RUBBED FINISH
All of the wood surfaces are finished with environmentally friendly water-based acrylic lacquer. This hand rubbed finish provides an uncompromised look and feel adding protection and durability to the hardwood frame.
PREMIUM UPHOLSTERY
Our upholstery combined with premium foam is pulled by hand to stretch the material firmly. This provides superior support while it resists sagging, and adds durability for rigorous studio use. Root upholstery has antimicrobial/antibacterial protection and is stain resistant.
SHOULDER PADS AND HANDLES
Shoulder pads are engineered with multiple density foams laminated to provide superior comfort and support. Handles are ergonomically shaped for comfort and grip.

LEATHER OR ROPE STRAPS

and punched with 26 positioning holes for maximum adjustability. Root's unique top-of-carriage strap attachment makes for easy and quick strap adjustment.

The Root reformer has three riser options, all of which can be used with leather or rope strap systems.
The fixed riser is permanently mounted to the frame and cannot be used with a combination system (15" range).

Vertical poles are polished stainless, stainless steel canopy poles are provided in a specially ground and hand rubbed finish to improve grip.
Poles may be mounted to the sides of the frames creating a wider push through bar (ideal for broad shoulders and expansion to full cadillac). End mounted poles are also available.
