3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent construction -- SHARP EDGES, October 18, 2010

(What's this?)

I have long looked for a well constructed foot rest that would improve my ergonomics at my home office. This fits the bill in many ways with some draw backs.

The wide platform allows for shifting of position while still supporting the feet.

This is solid and well constructed. This will outlast any plastic foot rest several times over.


Adjusts easily -- I have left the angle adjustment loose so I can rock my feet back and forth allowing for increased flexibility and comfort.

Stays in place and does not walk along my carpet (unlike the lighter weight one I have at work)


Since I use this at home I am often bare foot. Unlike the one at work (which is plastic) I can not with bare feet slip my feet along the edge to reposition it.


Overall, this is a much better footrest than the cheap plastic ones I have had at work settings.


update 11/28/2010 --

First of all I really like this footrest. It has really made my home computer desk much more comfortable.

The only draw back is the edges. I have repeatedly scraped my feet on the edge of the footrest. I put duct tape along all the edges and have not scraped my toes any more. This is the one design flaw. The edges are a bit sharp and some sort of guard along the edges should have been part of the design.

I could see this not only scraping toes but also shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product... buying a 2nd one, January 29, 2009

I bought one for my office and I find it to be so comfortable I'm buying a second for my home. The wide base, "grippy" surfaces, and lightweight yet sturdy all-metal construction are the big wins in this footrests design.

What's not so great is the "tools required" adjustability. Luckily for me, the factory default was perfectly fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best in 30 years, April 26, 2010

I have used foot rests because of my short height for over 30 years. This has got to be one of the best. It adjusts easily, it sticks to the floor. Expensive... but if you want something that works, don't waste money on a cheap plastic one.
