Is Carriage One commercially proven?
Carriage One is in commercial studio use today, and Carriage machines are used in daily classes. Customer names, locations, machine counts, and exact class volumes are not published without permission; prospective buyers may ask The Carriage Co. to request a reference introduction.
Does Sculptformer's 33-inch width make it better than Carriage One at 26 inches?

How long until I have my machines?
Each Carriage One is built to order, with your platform, finish, and strap options confirmed before production. Production typically takes 8–12 weeks, then freight transit; it is a range, not a delivery date. Order when you sign your lease and production runs alongside your build-out.
