IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
This product is the Original X-STAGE Base (NST Series) – BASE ONLY.
To create a complete freestanding pole setup, you must purchase a compatible NST Pole Insert separately.
The X-STAGE NST Base cannot be used on its own without an NST Series Pole Insert.
Original X-STAGE Base (NST Series)
The Original X-STAGE is the foundation of freestanding pole performance worldwide. Launched in 2010, it was the first fully portable pole stage to offer both static and spinning modes, setting the global industry standard still used today.
X-POLE’s freestanding stages are trusted in over 100 countries and used for home training, performances, competitions, and professional demonstrations.
Understanding the NST System (How It Works)
The Original X-STAGE (NST Series) is engineered differently from the newer PST (Pro) system.
NST System Design:
The base contains a bearing housing
The spin/static bearings are included in the NST Pole Insert, not in the base
Static and spinning modes are controlled via the pole insert hardware
Because the bearings are part of the NST pole insert, the base itself does not include spin/static bearings.
This is why:
The NST base is priced lower than PST
NST pole inserts are priced higher, as they include the bearing system

Ceiling Height & Extensions
If your ceiling height is below 3.2 m, you will need an extension to replace the B pole supplied with your NST Pole Insert.
How to calculate extension length:
Measure floor-to-ceiling height (in mm)
Subtract 1600 mm
Choose the closest extension length equal to or less than the remaining measurement
Examples:
3000 mm ceiling → 3000 − 1600 = 1400 mm extension
2700 mm ceiling → 1100 mm extension
2400 mm ceiling → 800 mm extension
You may use either:
NE Extensions (125 mm – 1000 mm), or
CX Extensions (dual-lined, 100 mm increments for greater height flexibility)
Important:A minimum clearance of 150 mm between the top of the pole and the ceiling is required for installation.
If you are unsure which extension you need, please contact us before purchasing.

I am very much in love with my Lite stage, it feels safe, sturdy and the black finish of the stage. I am a bit sad that I cant really wear heels but other than that I could not be happier!

Great and easy to assemble

I had the higher podium stage but opted for the Lite and love it! Build quality is fantastic and so easy to put assemble and take down. The roller bag for the stage base is so handy (just wish the stage bags were roller too). Love it so much it's more permanent in my living room than I planned. An absolute must-have for any pole dancer at any level.

Perfect for indoor or outdoor usage. It itself is super heavy but once you’ve got if set up it’s all good.
Helpful Report
I made it work with the pole height, the holes in the pole have me worried about my belly ring and to make it spin or static, its a bother to use the tool to change, wish it was easier to flick it from one to the other, also took hours to set up as manual was hard to understand with lack of detail and the plates for podium wouldn't fit properly and hurt myself a bit using brute force to finally get it in, as other YouTube videos showed people setting it up, this was a common issue... very expensive but otherwise its okay and hope for the price is sturdy and safe considering I spent a lot of time setting it up and doing further self research online to have it immaculate.
Helpful Report
The pole is absolutely amazing, couple latches get stuck/jammed when putting the weight plates on and off but I'm hoping that will loosen with time. Would recommend this to people.
