This 17-inch wide footrest is built from high-impact polystyrene and features a pebbled texture designed for sensory feedback. The "floating" tilt mechanism allows for continuous ankle movement throughout the day, which can help prevent stiffness during long periods of sitting. With three adjustable height tiers, the unit can be modified to suit different users or varied seating positions.
The build quality is intended for resting feet; users should avoid standing on the platform as the unreinforced plastic notches are not designed for full body weight. At approximately 4.4 lbs, the unit is very easy to reposition, though it may shift on hard floors if the rubberized pads accumulate dust. Periodically wiping the base pads with a damp cloth will help maintain their grip. The 17-inch span provides ample room for a wide sitting stance, though the center of the platform is most stable when weight is distributed evenly.
The floating tilt angle is particularly useful for those who like to fidget or move their feet while concentrating.
Specifications indicate that while the height adjustment is manual, it provides a functional range of elevation up to 6.25 inches. Users may notice some audible squeaking over time due to the plastic hinges, which is a common characteristic of friction-fit adjustment systems. This model serves as a practical, entry-level tool for improving under-desk ergonomics without a significant investment.
If you find that foam provides better comfort for your needs, the Everlasting Comfort memory foam rest offers a softer, noiseless experience.
