Thank you. For ME, it has a couple purposes.
1) having the platform that is higher up allows for easier getting on and off the bike instead trying to mount your bike while standing below it while it's on the rollers.
2) It helps protect my rollers while not in use.
3) keeps clean up nice and simple without having to worry about my sweat getting all over the floor. The sealed texture keeps the wood safe and I can wipe it up after a ride or even let it dry up if I wanted and can clean it up later
4) I plan to build a shelf or 2 off of it so I can have easy access to things while I'm training, such as extra water, coffee, phone, towel...etc.
5) It looks cool and I wanted my training area to look complete, but Is it necessary? Absolutely not.
