What is the difference between “Economy” & “Professional” rope stanchions?

Our “Economy Rope Stanchions” are probably the best quality “economy” level product in the market.

Most stanchions in this price range have stamped metal rope loops but our Economy Stanchions features the same forged loop found on high priced stanchions like "Professional" series. All stanchions have a full size rubber floor protectors.

If you need stanchions in a heavy traffic area our Professional stanchion are more durable and will last longer.
