Kensington Adjustable 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.

The media could not be loaded. Most of my comments about this foot rest are contained in the accompanying video review, however I have briefly summarised them below.THINGS THAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS FOOT REST:* It is easy to assemble. The main body is one moulded piece of plastic and the four foot pieces are quick to assemble* There are rubber pads on the feet which help to stop it slipping* The moulded grooves on the upper side of the foot rest stop your shoes slipping and give your feet a mini massage if you are just wearing socks* You can put this into a number of different positions, the rear foot rests have five different height levels and the front ones can either be included or left out giving two different positionsTHINGS THAT I WASN'T SO KEEN ON:* It is fairly lightweight compared to more expensive foot rests and it does feel quite plasticy* Although there are a number of different height positions and angles that you can put this into you don't have an infinite choice as to the final position* If you take one foot off it tends to tip over towards the remaining foot* Over time when used on a laminate flooring it does tend to slip away from you. It is find on carpet or a lino floorOVERALL CONCLUSION:For home or light use this is ideal. It is fairly sturdy, easy to assemble and can be positioned at two different heights and five different angles.

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

There are a lot of height options and comes with instructions on where the feet can be fitted, so have a read as I'm not sure I would have thought of all of them. I have mine on the lowest possible as I have fairly long legs, but they are just a bit short of sitting on the floor without some support. It relieves pressure on the lower back and makes sitting at my desk all day feel fine. It is a good sturdy footrest, so won't break if you put a bit of pressure on it.

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.

Read lots of reviews before purchasing. This one is a bit more expensive than some of the others, but it is suitably durable and strong enough. Yes the rubber foot mat was a little wiffy (it is rubber!!) - but that smell disappeared over night. Easy enough to adjust. I do agree that the angle to use instructions are not very easy to understand. They could be much improved. In my reading in simple form - if you are tall with big hands a flatter angle may suit you better. Not rocket science. My posture at the computer has definitely improved. :)

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!
