It is actually a Superquilter Proflex frame. It has 10' poles. My old craft room was pretty much 11' square so it was up against a wall. My new craft room is muuuuch larger and I can get behind and around it without any issues at all. I like the proflex frame but then I have nothing to compare it to.
I will say that I decided that if I don't fully take to it by the end of March that I was going to sell it and buy a sit down Janome Horizon. I really do love free motion quilting
I think once I get the hang of it, I'll be pretty happy. Sure I would have loved to buy a $6000 - $10,000 model but I just don't have that kind of cash. The Bailey is a workhorse with a pretty big following.
I do wish that they would do something with the manual though. It is downright sad. It took two of us to figure out how to assemble the bobbin assembly area and to thread it - and I have to say that I'm still not 100% sure if I have it threaded right but it's working after 3 or 4 hours of trying everything we could think of to get it to work.

i think i see that your frame is a hinterberg? how long do you have it set up at? the longest i could make my hinterberg in my master bedroom is 9.5'. if you have a long setup, you might want to consider using shorter poles. i can easily quilt a queen on mine and even quilted a king [with some creativity] last year. that might help you with the amount of space it's hogging
