Computer Footrests 3M Adjustable Foot Rest Review
particular foot rest because of the brand name, large platform, and the ability to make adjustments. When it arrived, I was very pleased with the product. The platform is plastic with a nice rubber over that has large dimples, and a deep grid on the bottom side for strength (or so I thought). The base is made out of metal and has two height levels. I have set the front for the lowest height and the back to high. This gives me a slightly more vertical angle on the platform, which I like. And, the base have some grip strips on the both to reduce slipping on the carpet. Also, the platform tilts freely (with slightly adjustable friction), giving a nice ability to flex your ankles periodically during the day.
Now, the "issue". All was good on the first day. On
the second day, I was preparing to leave my desk and used my feet to
push away so I could get up. My feet, of course, where on the foot
rest. I heard a loud crack. Upon investigation, I found that the grid
on the bottom of the platform had cracked in several places along a
single rib. I was disappointed. I've not fixed it, or asked for a
refund, I am still using the footrest, I just make sure my feet are at
the outside edge of the footrest when I push out. This may be a general
design flaw, related to my size 14 feet, the bad wheels on my chair, or
the fact that I'm overweight. It may even be a little of each.
I still think it's a great foot rest and recommend it.
UPDATE:I
have thrown this foot stand away. It has finally broken to the point I
can't use it at all. But, I did get the better part of three years out
of it. I think my feet were just to heavy for it.
