48121 Standard Foot Rest, Graphite

First of all, this is the perfect foot rest for me. On the highest setting it helps me remember to sit up straight and allows me to keep my chair as high as I like it. I love it. Second, I don't understand some of the negative reviews. One said it's not smooth, but mine is. Some have said it's cheap, but you chose to buy a $15 dollar product. It is exactly what you pay for and what you paid for is good. It's a basic level product with no promises otherwise. Third, some have complained it doesn't stay at the level you want it. In the description it is stated it's on a free floating platform. This is one of the reasons I bought it! I had one that didn't tilt at all and I would tilt it with my feet without realizing it so this one is perfect for mt. If I don't want it to move every once in a while I can shove a tennis ball or something under it since I chose to buy one that moves. Fourth, some said it broke after a few months. I can't help but wonder how much pressure these people are putting on it. One person said it should be able to take some pressure but as I'm sitting here typing this I'm paying attention to the amount of pressure I'm applying and it's just not that much. If you're putting enough weight on it to break it then you're using it wrong. Most of your weight should be carried by your chair. I'm a happy customer and assuming I use it properly, I expect it to last a long time.

I am so satisfied with my purchase. I have used this product and brand several times and it has never failed me.

As mentioned in the headline, I love that this foot rest pivots on a relatively stable base, rather than having rockers like some of the others. The pivoting motion allows me to work my feet and lower legs for circulation, and it would be great for people that need to move when they think/create. I also love that, unlike most of the other foot rests in this category, it's not covered in fabric that will end up looking like a dead raccoon under my desk just because I have pets. On the other hand, the small rubber feet the manufacturer provided do nothing to keep it from sliding on uncarpeted floors if you place any kind of pressure against the bottom third. It then ends up stuck in the desk brace and can't be pivoted without fishing it back out again. The back bottom edge also knocks against my hardwood floor if pivoted all the way to the resting position. Larger, non-skid pads and a rubberized coating, at least the bottom edge closest to the user, would go a long way to rectify this. (a rubberized top would be nice as well though, as the top is a bit slick with house slippers on) Since I need an immediate solution to both however, I have simply ordered a rubber mat typically used for entry doors, which should work. As long as it does, I'll be hanging on to this.

I guess it technically does what it is designed to do. It feels very cheap and I did eventually break off the tabs that hold the foot rest to the base. I would just recommend buying a chair that goes to the height that you need and skip buying a foot rest.

I use a yoga ball for a chair, but am a very short person. I needed something to put me feet on to help keep me balanced. The footrest worked perfectly for what I purchased it for at first, but after awhile any kind of pressure started to make it weak in places. There's a flaw in the design, which I discovered once it started cracking and breaking on me. I admit that there are times when I put a little more weight on it than I probably should have, but it only seemed to get stress fractures in certain places - that is where the plastic grid across the bottom is missing in order to make it adjustable for height. If you use the taller setting, there's an empty space with no support. This space is where the rocker goes into if you use the lower height setting. I would suggest that if you get this to only use the lower height setting in order to give these open areas some support (if you buy it, you'll see what I mean). Overall, I really did like the thing, but was upset that the only place it broke was where there was no support. If this were a single height, it would have been great, especially for the price.

I first purchased a Fellowes Standard foot rest in 2007. I used it daily for several hours a day for more more than 17 years before it broke. The one I received with this order appears to be identical in quality. I am very pleased.

Tabs broke off the hold the bottom part on. Now it just flops around. I have another one I found at my office that who knows how old it is. They must be making them cheaper now. If you are reading this find another brand.

I really love this foot rest. This is the 3rd one that I have ordered. I have used the other two in different offices that I have worked at. The newest one I ordered was for my home office. I have used nicer and more expensive footrest, but I do not notice a huge difference to warrant spending that much extra money. The footrest is adjustable, and has two height positions when parallel to the ground it is 3 1/4 inch, at the highest tip is is 4 1/2 inches. The footrest is manually adjusted, it can moves back and forth but does not slip out of place. The footrest is very light and can be taken with you, because it does come in two pieces. I am 4' 11" and I feel that the height works well for me. It makes sitting at my desk more comfortable. I enjoy the textured surface (only at home) it helps massage the soles of my feet. I enjoy that it tilts back and forth because it gives my feet something to do. The footrest is easy to use and no fills. It is a great price and made out of recycled material. I recommend this to anyone looking for added comfort while working at a desk.

Does the job and works , but cheap plastic

Da ich bei längerem Sitzen am Schreibtisch Rückenschmerzen bekomme, wollte ich ausprobieren, ob die Verwendung einer Fußstütze hilft. Diese Fußstütze ist stabil, höhenverstellbar und die nach vorn und hinten frei bewegliche Plattform bietet die Möglichkeit die Füße und Beine zu bewegen und zu entlasten. Das Sitzen ist sehr viel angenehmer bzgl. der Füße, Beine und des Rückens. Ich hatte verschiedene Modelle zur Auswahl bestellt, diese waren meist schwerer und/oder extrem unhandlich und kein anderes hatte diese frei bewegliche Fußauflage.

good product.

Ho ancora qui sotto i miei piedi questo comodo supporto che aiuta la mia difficile circolazione venosa durante le tante ore che passo seduta al computer. Con i pallini in rilevo massaggia la pianta del piede, la regolazione avviene senza problemi direttamente da seduti, essendo mobile. E' facilmente smontabile e lavabile (basta passarlo sotto l'acqua per togliere la polvere). Per ovviare al rumore che fa quando sbatte la plastica a terra basta mettere qualche feltrino di quelli utilizzati sotto le gambe delle sedie e il problema è risolto.

Bad quality.. ikea has better deal
