Great for short people
I've had this little footrest for years at work, really improves my ergonomic form while sitting.

Terrible
This product is absolutely terrible. I have had it less than a month and the clips have already broken, although it never really worked. Since the day I bought it, the whole top has slid right out of the grooves constantly. If I was able to still return it, I would.

Not happy
Very thin materials, only lift up a little bit, not even 5 inches, and not sturdy enough to hold the feet under the desk

Response from Staples :
We are sorry you are less than pleased with your Standard Footrest, Nia! This footrest features a dual-position height adjustment - 3-1/2" and 4-3/8". If you are looking for one which provides a higher height adjustment, we recommend you consider the Office Suites Adjustable Footrest #8035001 which has 3 height adjustments: 4-1/8", 4-7/8", and 5-5/8". We hope this helps!

Second Chance Failed
This is the second footstool I've purchased from this brand over the years, and both times, the swivel mechanism has broken, rendering the stool unusable. Additionally, the store has refused reimbursement on both occasions. The design and engineering of this product clearly need improvement, and enhanced quality control should be integrated into the production process t...

It helps for bad feet
I have plantar fascitus and this helps stretch my feet and prevent them from cramping. It rocks and that can be soothing.

Its ok
Like the previous comments, the platform itself is sturdy but the way the bottom attaches makes the whole thing kinda unstable, also, it does not lock to the preferred adjustment, it just sits there and when you put your feet on it, it will move forward or backwards. The tabs are just a thin plastic that keeps everything together, unfortunately I do not see this product...

Comes Apart Easily If
This foot rest is sturdy enough and a nice design, but if you move it even an inch with your feet the top comes off, as the top is not permanently attached to the bottom - but rather uses a slide design that is unstable. I ended up buying a different standard type footstool, as this was unusable for me.

It helps with my lower back.
I like the adjustability of it, as I can raise or lower it. It helps with my lower back being able to raise my feet off the floor. My ankles tend to swell from sitting all day every day, and when I use the footrest, it helps alleviate some of that for me.

Just Okay
In my opinion, it's cheaply made. Thin plastic, kind of bulky, not that comfortable.

Cheap, adequate
The footrest can slide to adjust its incline and helps elevate your feet instead of dangling. It is, however, very plasticky and rattles loudly if bumped under the desk.
