I like how it is wide and fairly comfortable; however, the articulating arms stopped working after 2 months and it will not stay up. For the price, I would not recommend this. I would recommend a cheaper, non-articulating foot rest. The photos show the maximum height after 2 months of use.

This foot rest is very adjustable. I got it mostly because my office chair is just a touch too high to have my feet flat on the ground, so I was hoping this would help. My complaint is that it could be a bit wider. I don't sit with my legs tightly together at my desk, and I think an extra couple inches on both sides would make this more comfortable to use. It also tends to slide on the floor. This foot rest is *very* lightweight (it's made of light plastic) and the little anti-skid pads they give you to stick on the bottom do next to nothing. Unless your legs are perfectly centered over the top, you'll probably end up pushing this away from you under the desk. I also tend to run into issues with the flat platform. My office chair, like most, has 5 legs that protrude from a single stem base with wheels on each leg. Because this stand sits flat on the ground, the legs tend to bump into it, so it can be difficult to maneuver into the right position. If it had a gap underneath it (like a typical stool) I might be able to position it so that the legs of the chair slide underneath it, but instead it just bumps into the foot rest and tends to push it just a touch further in front of the chair than would be ergonomically ideal. If you want this foot rest to stay in place, you may need to use some double sided carpet tape or something, or perhaps somehow weight it down. It might work fine for some, but it's not an ideal footrest for me.

Perfect footrest. So good I bought a second one for my two spots at my L desk so I always have one. Super sturdy and the padding is nice and the massage surface with padding off feels great on my feet. Highly recommend and easy to use.

Multiple easy to make adjustments, great versatile. Use a stand up desk, and this adapts well to the varying heights its needed. Sturdy too. It puts my feet in a better, more natural position.

It’s a good product. Wish it was taller

I've gone through my share of under-desk footrests, and frankly, so many of them just don't quite get the job done. They're often too limited in height, angle, or overall comfort. I'm thrilled to report that the Scalebeard Foot Rest is different – it's exactly what I needed and wanted! The absolute best feature of this footrest is its incredible adjustability. The sheer number of configurations possible for both height and angle is fantastic. No matter how I'm sitting at my desk, or if I need to shift my position to support my feet, legs, or even help my back alignment, I can always find the perfect setting with this footrest. This versatility alone makes it superior to many others I've tried. The included cushion is another major plus. It snaps easily and securely onto the base, which is very convenient. More importantly, it strikes that ideal balance between being comfortably soft for my feet while also feeling rugged and durable enough to hold up to daily use. It's also removable, which is great. Underneath the pad, the base has massage beads, offering another nice option for foot comfort depending on your preference. If you're tired of footrests that offer too few options or lack real ergonomic support, I highly recommend the Scalebeard. It's well-designed, incredibly adaptable to however you need to sit, and genuinely comfortable. It easily earns five stars from me!

I was getting lower back pain because I'm 5'5 and my chair-table set up doesn't let my feet touch the ground. The floor is also too cold sometimes. I wanted a leg rest that is: 1. Not too low 2. Has some soft padding - so it is warm 3. Has customizable height and can go slant or flat - I like flat for max support. 4. Not too expensive and looks good 5. Sturdy and good quality and supports my legs well 6. Doesn't slip easily or can be moved when I need to move it Initially I bought one of those foam pillow type leg rests and it was too low for me and I didn't like it at all. I tolerated it for 6 months and realized I kept kicking it away and suffering. Then I finally gave up and threw it and ordered this footrest - it works beautifully and meets all my requirements. I have it set flat at 3/4 of max height and my knees fit under the table, I also get the right support and height!
