This review is from: 3M Adjustable Foot Rest, 18 Inch Wide Non-skid Platform (FR330) (Office Product)

I ordered this particular foot rest because of the brand name, large platform, and the ability to make adjustments. When it arrived, I was very pleased with the product. The platform is plastic with a nice rubber over that has large dimples, and a deep grid on the bottom side for strength (or so I thought). The base is made out of metal and has two height levels. I have set the front for the lowest height and the back to high. This gives me a slightly more vertical angle on the platform, which I like. And, the base have some grip strips on the both to reduce slipping on the carpet. Also, the platform tilts freely (with slightly adjustable friction), giving a nice ability to flex your ankles periodically during the day.

Now, the "issue". All was good on the first day. On the second day, I was preparing to leave my desk and used my feet to push away so I could get up. My feet, of course, where on the foot rest. I heard a loud crack. Upon investigation, I found that the grid on the bottom of the platform had cracked in several places along a single rib. I was disappointed. I've not fixed it, or asked for a refund, I am still using the footrest, I just make sure my feet are at the outside edge of the footrest when I push out. This may be a general design flaw, related to my size 14 feet, the bad wheels on my chair, or the fact that I'm overweight. It may even be a little of each.

I still think it's a great foot rest and recommend it.

I don't think I'd be as frustrated if I hadn't paid $50+ for a peace of metal and plastic. My main compliant is that even though they claim this is adjustable, you can only adjust and then re-lock the height. As far as I can tell, you cannot lock down the tilt angle. I am at a corner desk and for my set up I my feet are a tad bit high on the the foot rest and so I have to flex my feet and even my core to not push the top down. Therefore, I find myself often not even using this $50 piece of plastic.

With that being said. I can see how this would probably work for some people, especially if they have a really deep desk with tons of leg space. I do love the wide, non-skid surface.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best foot rest!! (Forget the plastic kind) ..., September 29, 2010

If you are at a desk for many hours a day, then you really need a foot rest. Also - if your desk is higher than your normal position (after adjusting your chair height) then you need a foot rest.

I am pretty normal height and most desks fit me without a foot rest - but - I love having this one. I use the foot rest as a change of position and it really helps when I can put one foot up, or the other down, or both on, or both off, .. you get the idea. This foot rest is solid and the all metal construction really is a big deal. The plastic type fall apart and are easily damaged. Additionally, the plastic can shift or move with very little pressure applied making them hard to use - which is exactly what you don't want from a piece of ergonomic equipment. You want it easy to use - to get maximum compliance.

Simply - this is the best:

Large surface
Durable
Easy to use
stays in place.
