KensingtonAdjustable Ergonomic Foot Rest - SoleMate Plus Under Desk Foot Rest for Improved Posture, Siatica and Orthopedic Relief - Grey (56146) , 450 x 350 mm

I took a while before ordering to look at various pros/cons of the range of models available and my needs, budget etc. I even measured up to see that it would fit inbetween the base of my computer trolley. But what I didn't do (and should have!) was factored in that once my office style chair was included into the equation, that the chair front leg and wheel would make the depth of this footrest initially not work so well for my style of computer trolley, which has a low bottom shelf just above floor level...but this was easily resolved by removing this bottom computer trolley shelf so that now, I have excellent full range foot support with this footrest. I find it comfortable and combined with a good chair, and the mousepad/wrist rest I bought at the same time, am already finding that my posture whilst sitting for prolonged periods at my computer is very much improved, with noticeably less foot/back/shoulder/arm/wrist ache etc.If you are buying this to fit under a desk, you shouldn't have the problem re depth that I had re my particular computer trolley. But if you are buying it to fit under a computer trolley, you might want to be a bit more careful re depth than I originally was/check that if needs be, your bottom computer trolley shelf can be quickly removed and that you don't rely on it for what could be missed storage space!I am very pleased with it indeed: just thought I'd point this feature out incase others found it useful in their decision making.

As others have commented, it is very difficult to adjust. As I need the green setting, I had to work it up side by side as if you move one side, the other side becomes impossible to move. I A also found I did have to use quite a lot of force! It's not that clear from the instructions how much you have to screw the knobs on the sides to fix the setting. Turning them clockwise alone doesn't really do much, I recommend holding the bolt from the other side to ensure they screw in tightly and the setting is locked. The tilt function works well though and is easy to adjust. Once all set up, it's sturdy and comfortable on the feet. I'm mainly wearing socks and the surface doesn't hurt my feet even after a long day. I would recommend but be prepared for a frustrating set up!

Loving this foot restIts worth paying a bit more to experience the better qualityCan take a bit of weightAdjustable - just press feet on itNon slip - so it doens't move easily (its solid)Think this one will last !

I damaged my back rather badly and, as a result, sitting at my computer became incredibly painful and likely to make my back worse, according to my physiotherapist, who is very clever. I'm self-employed and need to spend time working at my desk, so needed to minimise the risk of my discs popping out of my spine again. I already had a comfortable chair, but realised that my spine went into a stupid position because I couldn't get my feet flat on the floor, and using a box to rest them on made my knees higher than my hips, which is apparently a bad thing.I thought this foot rest was worth a shot, and I've been delighted with it! It is incredibly sturdy, easy to move when you want it to move, but won't suddenly skid about as you're using it. The gentle incline means that depending on how close I need to be to the desk, and what shape my back is in, I can put my feet at any position and still maintain a 'neutral spine'. Apparently that's what I need.I've been delighted with this foot rest. I am sure we will continue to be very happy together. :-)

The plastic is brittle and does not stand up to long-term use. Repaired it with Gorilla Glue, but I'm fully expecting it to break again.

I have found this to be a godsend being able to adjust the height means that i can sit at my home built odd height desk very comfortably with my feet supported. There was a little self assembly required but was a matter of moments. the height setting guide works really well and unlike some others i have had no issue with the height dropping. I tend to keep the swivel on as i like the ability to rock my feet from time to time. but i did use it locked for a week and experianced no issue with it unlocking. When i decided to unlock it i just knocked the catch with my heel and hey presto done. it is sturdy and does not feel like it will fall apart in five minutes unlike some other feet rest. the "nobbly" foot pad feels nice under my socks. this is quite a wide device but as i am of the larger persuasion i tend to have my feet slightly further apart and have no issues with it. all in all a very good purchase that i would recommend to anyone

Purchased it a couple of weeks ago, although a bit worried about the intense smell comments here and at amazon.com. Straight out of the box, it only had a very mild smell, which is to be expected for a new item. I left it outdoors for a couple of hours, just in case (couldn't get the "smell from hell" reviews out of my mind I guess) and never had a problem with it, there's no smell. Maybe it's a production line issue with some foot rests, but mine was fine.It's fairly sturdy for the price, but I'd avoid putting any unnecessary pressure - it probably wouldn't take it, and it's not what foot rests are meant to do anyway. Relax your feet on it and don't push them on while you're getting up from your chair. You might also want to be careful with the height & tilting. They work fine, just don't put unnecessary force, set & forget them.The instructions can be confusing at first since there's no text at all, but rather an elaborate colour-image-numbering system, which is easy to decipher with a little bit of extra thought. If you want a foot rest for barefoot massaging you'd better look elsewhere, since this one's surface is almost flat and will probably require frequent cleaning. For working purposes, it's a very good item.
