The "Rotator" has a smart designed bearing assembly in the base that allows the pole to rotate freely. With the simple push of a button, the pole can change from a static pole to rotating. It's like 2 poles in 1! The stainless steel "Rotator" Lil' Mynx comes with black bases and black adjustment tubes (the smaller adjustable tube that couples the ceiling mount). It comes with a hardware pack and ready for use on carpeted floors. If you are going to use this on a hardwood floor (or other non-carpeted floor), you will need to also purchase the Non-skid Floor Pad by searching Shipfrea Non-skid Floor Pad. If you have a vaulted ceilings, you need to buy the Vaulted Ceiling Mount. You can find our vaulted ceiling mount by searching Shipfrea vaulted ceiling mount on . Plaster is not a great ceiling type for our standard mount as there is nothing to secure the mount to. Please be sure to measure your ceiling. Guessing can be costly. While we will exchange an unopened pole for a different size, the shipping back and forth is not cheap.
