Expected life of a bed?

I'm looking into purchasing a salon with 3 beds

What is the life expectancy of 2005 Catalina (2348 hrs), Pacifica (3338 hrs) and a Standup (2402 hrs)?

If maintained they should be fine. I suggest new acrylics, lamps and any stickers that may be worn along with a deep cleaning.

Hey Steve,

Thank you for your reply, do you have an idea of how long these beds will last if well maintained?

A very long time. These beds are some of the best built in the industry. 15-20 years. However, probably won't want to keep them that long.

Re: Expected life of a bed?

The real question here is: Why are you thinking of purchasing a 3 bed salon? Unless a three bed salon is somehow combined with another business (hair, health club) there is absolutely no chance that it can make a profit.
