I actually got this to have as a support when I use my walking pad; the length of the pad is almost half as big as a standard treadmill, and I needed something to hold onto to balance myself when walking at a faster pace. This is perfect, it is big enough to allow the pad to fit in between it and works great as a stabilizer in case I need to hold onto something, which I absolutely do. Unfortunately this is sold as a pair for its intended use, so I have an extra identical piece that I have no use for. I knew this going in, but it wasn’t horribly expensive and was the only thing I could find that worked for my intended purpose.
