I thought I would like the little finger-like bumps on the massage stick, but in reality it makes for a rough massage experience. It still does the job, but I feel like I have to go over an area multiple times because the gaps are too big to hit all my muscles evenly in one roll. I also feel like they varied the texture just for the sake of appearance - the longer, horizontal ridges on the left and right sides of the roller pretty much do nothing and are hardly used. However, it does feel well-made with nice, plus rubberized handles and good rolling action.

I bought this to rub out my calves and thighs. It caused damage in both calves. The teeth are unnecessary if it is this hard.

Remember those cartoons where the cave men tried to make cars with square wheels and they bumped along awkwardly? This is what this roller feels like. The lumps on the "rolling" part of it are so large that it doesn't work well as a roller. Returning it.

As others have mentioned, it doesn't roll well and is quite hard. The contours in the stick don't really do anything to promote myofascial release as well as a round and more simple design. With the grid pattern after long term use on sweaty body parts, grossness gets in the crevices and it's nearly impossible to clean. Fun to look at but terrible in practicality.
