      Sturdy and perfect

      We absolutely love our new stage! It is very sturdy and perfect for our space! If the need arises for us to expand our stage area in the future, we will be ordering from Stage Drop again- the entire process was easy; they answered all of our questions before ordering; and the delivery process was very convenient.
