Good all around well constructed footrest. Only downside is the sandpaper non-slip finish... it wears out rubber soled shoes quite faster.

This is the only footrest on the market, it seems, that is wide enough so that my legs rest comfortably in alignment with my hips. The norm is 18" wide. This one fits perfectly.

Only problem... it slides across the floor, whether hardwood or carpet. This is what separates 4 from 5 stars, sadly. It's a pretty key feature for a foot rest. It's a shame this was missed in the design of an otherwise good foot rest.

Easy to use, comfortable, and already assembled. I bought it used to save $20. Looked like new and shipped in the original box with instruction sheet. I am using this with a half round foot pillow (Foot Rest Cushion, Half Cylinder Design, Shenzhen Lian Da Sponge Product Co., LTD) as a great combo to keep my feet elevated and my posture correct while I work really looong hours of OT sitting in the call center. Tilt angle adjusts with my feet too. Very heavy duty. I will get years of use from this. I am 58 years old I expect this thing may out live me. All edges nice and smooth so if you are like me and slip your shoes off at your desk nothing will cut bare skin or snag hosiery.

I just received this foot rest, and I wanted to jump on to let you know that mine does not have any sharp edges as some previous reviewers have said theirs does. I don't know if there was a design change, or if there is a manufacturing inconsistency, but I can safely run my hands and feet all around the edges of the foot rest without any risk of being cut.

Other than that, this is a basic, industrial-looking foot rest. It is just what I needed to get my feet at the right height for proper support at my desk. The tilt is smooth and easy to adjust without being too loose or too tight.

First, except for the rubbery plastic layer where your feet rest and the bottom four corners with semi-rough rubbery plastic that sit on the floor, the 22 inch wide 3M Foot Rest is made of thin but totally adequate steel sheet metal.

I write "totally adequate" for use as a foot rest under a desk or table: If someone decided that they wanted to "rock and roll" on top of it, then it might break down after a while.

The "rock and roll" comes to mind because I didn't realize that the foot rest would pivot it you moved your feet above the center where the bolt-rubbery-washer-frame-steel-washer-lock-nut combo holds the top to the bottom frame, and applied some small amount of pressure, with the opposite effect when you move your feet back towards you and apply any pressure downward.

The pivot adds an unexpected and nice addition of flexible movement for your feet, ankles, and lower legs.

One will need some tools to assemble this.

The bottom frame can adjust the foot rest platform up and down in terms of height and angle. There are a few or at least two variations on that adjustment. Be prepared to wear some work gloves or heavy rubber gloves when assembling or adjusting the bottom frame: The inner hardware is a large wing nut, while the outer head of the bolt is a flat thumb screw. I wound up using an (adjustable) crescent wrench to grip the thumb screw head steady, while my rubberized work gloves tightened the wing nuts.

Between the materials used, the "just right" tension on the pivoting, and the additional width that this foot rest offers over the others makes it a perfect fit for me: I'm 5'9", so I suggest that anyone taller will definitely need the extra width that this model has over the others, which as I recall varied somewhere around 18".

I don't recall "exactly" what I had to adjust or assemble in terms of the "pivoting" assembly. The inside lock-nut is 7/16" I think, but the outer bolt head of that assembly may be metric, because none of my less that 1/2" box or open end wrenches would fit it, so, again, my crescent wrench came in handy.

I am at my desk/computer for many hours a day and finally succumbed to "reality" and purchased and Aeron chair, which I also recommend. However, the Aeron still made my stationary hours feel like something else was needed (aside from getting up), and for me, this foot rest seems to be the perfect complement to my "stationary hours."
