Ergonomic Adjustable Portable Footrest for Office & Home - Lightweight & Foldable Under Desk Foot Rest for Better Posture & Comfort While Working, Studying or Gaming

This is so lightweight and portable. I am 5’1” and wish I had found this sooner! It is easy to pull out and set up (I actually did it with my feet once we were all seated on the plane). It’s easy to shift its position (again, with your feet if you don’t have space to reach down) depending on how you want you feet resting.Because it’s so lightweight, it’s a little unstable, but it’s easy to get used to where to place your feet for better stability. I do wish the platform on top was wider (top-to-bottom, not necessarily side-to-side).I have a size 6 foot, but I don’t know how well it would work for much bigger feet.It’s not perfect, but it’s worth the money. I feel like this will help swelling (and potential clots) on my overseas flights.Got this for a flight from the U.S. to Europe (7 countries), for my 18 year old daughter. She is 5'8" and has long legs. I am 5'6" and have 'normal' length legs. Whereas she is tall and thin, I'm medium and have heavy legs. Normal length...but heavy!It is about 10" wide when in it's original form with the top "sliders" closed/pushed together and 14-1/2" when the top sliders are fully pulled apart. You can spread your feet apart with no trouble when your feet are resting on the top of it. Whether it's closed at 10" wide or opened fully at 14 1/2", you have plenty of room to put both feet on it without having to squash your feet together. Closed, you still have some room to move your feet around. And with it fully extended you can really move your feet around.Just the top sliders pull apart. The 'legs' fold under the footrest 'ledge' when not in use. When you open it, the legs flop down automatically. That's when you choose to keep the sliders closed at 10 inches or open them to 14 1/4 inches.It stands 5" high with the legs down and in use, and almost 1" when the 'legs' are folded back under the ledge, when not in use. (So it folds to 1" flat when stored). The top of the footrest has a sort of rough pattern etched into the plastic to help keep your feet from slipping off. The sides and a bit of trim around the edge of the top are shiny plastic. This would probably scratch easily, but who cares. It's on the ground!She hasn't taken the flight yet, so we opened it up and tested it on the floor. SUPER SUPER easy to open and close. It took me all of 4 seconds to open.Very sturdy on the ground. I couldn't tip it over when I wobbled my feet. And I pressed down heavily on it. It didn't bend or budge. The 'locks' holding the legs open didn't close. It's very solid plastic. As a matter of fact, it's a bit heavy to be honest. I was surprised how heavy it was. Not bowling ball heavy! But heavier than I would have thought. But that's what makes it sturdy. It's not some thin, brittle plastic. The height, when opened, is perfect for me. My knees are about dead even with where they should be according to studies. And even with her longer legs, my daughters knee's are only about an inch higher than her butt. And no, her knees are not poking up in the air. She said it was actually very comfortable and felt like it moved her back and hips into a good position.The velvet pouch that comes with it is nice. The inside of the pouch is lined with a thin very flexible coating of vinyl or something. This is good. It makes me feel as though dirt from the footrest won't eventually grind it's way through the fabric and onto things next to it in her carry on. Such as her clothes or personal items!All in all, this is a good purchase, well worth the higher price. I can see the whole family getting use from it. I'm going to put it under my computer desk when no one else is using it. My husband say's he's taking it on his short "U.S." flights. But my daughter say's it's going with her when she leaves for college!...lolSUPER shipping and customer service dept. Rcvd the package in time to leave the country, and well packed, in perfect condition. Would buy from company again.UPDATE: My daughter said this was a lifesaver on the longggg overseas flight. It kept her back from aching.No more cutting off the circulation in my legs. Comfortable flight, I’ll be taking it with me from here on out.I had to take an extremely long flight cross country. Nonstop. This foot rest completely changed my experience! If you are thinking about buying it go ahead and click the purchase now button!Worth the price. I’m 5’3” and my knees and hips always hurt after a trip. The seats are just a little too tall for me and it puts just enough pressure on my joints to cause issues post-trip. This thing was fantastic. Super comfortable and well made. May seem expensive for plastic, but I feel it was well engineered and I loved the extra width with the extenders. My ego kept telling me that I didn’t need this, but wish I had bought it years ago. Felt great after a long trip to Hawaii and work trip to San Francisco. No pain at all.I'm 5'6" and this provided the perfect support and height to not have my feet hang and fluid swell in my ankles. Will never fly without it again. Also, propped my legs up enough to support, but could still use the folding tray. Just made my flight so much more comfortable. Only issue was the top can expand without locking, so there was some sliding.Elevating my feet when sitting reduces back tightness. I bought this item specifically for air travel where there is no possible way to elevate my feet. I am petite, so it is adequately sturdy. It would be more comfortable if it were wider, but this might reduce portability. I like that its dimensions allow me to easily carry it in my small carry-on bag.I do a lot of transcontinental travel and bought this to bring with me on flights - this stool has been a such a blessing!My feet will get restless on flights and prevents me from falling asleep from all of the shifting. By using the footrest, most of that has gone away. My posture is better while I am sitting those economy seats and my lower back pain is alleviated. I am 5'9" and this has been the best product I have come across for my legs (vs the seat back hammocks), my 5'4" mom has used the stool and has loved it as well. Initially I was surprised by how heavy the product was but it is a tough little guy and can take a lot of weight. Even when the sides are extended, I don't feel like it will break or collapse.The only drawback for the product was the pouch it came in. The drawstrings came out after a few uses and it became more cumbersome than helpful. I'm a germaphobe and didn't want the stool traveling uncovered with my other things, so I am now using a dust bag from on my purses instead. Overall, I highly recommend!
