Mind Reader Ergonomic Foot Rest, Height Adjustable, Plastic, 18"L x 13.5"W x 6.5"H, Black

I've been using this Mind Reader footrest product for about a month now at home and L-O-V-E it! I was already aware of, and using footrests at work although they are non-adjustable nor have a tilt/rock feature like this one. My employer provides built-in, no frills footrests for us to increase circulation and reduce fatigue on our joints during our 12-hour shift of sitting at our computer console operating stations. At work I would always notice how much better my legs felt after using a footrest during long sitting periods and put it on my list of things to purchase for the home front. Lucky for me as a Walmart Spark Reviewer, Walmart offered me this product to test and review for the consumer...YOU, and now I finally own one for home use! Set up was extremely simple: comes assembled, just pull it out of the box, place it on the floor and begin using! There is nothing to plug in to an electrical outlet nor any batteries to use; it is a manually-operated unit. The entire unit is constructed of heavy plastic, thus is lightweight to move from room to room. It comes with a simple three-position height adjustment (think: pool lounge chair adjustment) yet the best feature to me is the 0-30 degree tilt. Not only can the user set the height, but can also tilt and/or rock the unit for extra comfort or just to give legs and feet an extra wiggle or stretch for increased circulation. The rollers are nice too; I can feel the rollers even with my slippers on. I think in future units they should consider rubber rollers...ah, wouldn't THAT be heavenly? The plastic ones still work great but I am thinking rubber would feel great on bare feet. I found the size of the unit to fit well under my computer desk. As well, I found that I no longer need to put my computer chair in the "lounge" position; instead I now sit upright in my chair, lock it in place and, combined with the footrest, by body is now positioned in an ergonomical position thus minimizing physical discomfort. I highly recommend this footrest and I think it would make a GREAT holiday gift for your friends and loved ones. Again, and I cannot stress enough, NO batteries or electrical outlets needed; works straight out of the box!! No one likes looking for batteries or electrical plugs and adapters to make a product work on their gift-giving holiday. 18.1W" x 13.4"D x 4.3"H Color: black No instructions needed, nor come in box. The footrest flattens and makes for easy storage when not in use. No batteries or electrical needed to make it work -- completely manual. Designed in USA; made in China.

When I first requested to do a review of this foot rest, I was not sure what to expect. I have Never, Ever used a foot rest at my desk. I am using this at my work as the space under my home desk it too cluttered but I may have to change that. I am very impressed with this. First of all, it is pleasing to the eye and it is not too bulky as to be in the way. There are 3 different height settings and I use it primarily on the lowest one. There are bumps or nodules that are the massage part as well as 30 rolling spools in the center which are a nice feature. I am on my feet a lot during the day so when I have spare time, I sit, kick my shoes off and just rub my feet ove the top of the nodules. I was surprised at how comfortable I am with just sitting with my feet a bit elevated. Just feels like less strain for some reason. And I'm also pleased that my knees seem to feel better at the angle they are when I'm using the foot rest. It seems there is much less strain on them which is wonderful. I sometimes get pain on the sides of my feet and for this, I raise the foot rest to the highest position as it makes it easier for me to turn my foot to the side and use the center rollers. I also like to use the swivel feature to stretch a bit which also provides some relief. All in all, a nice addition, looks good, provides comfort, yes I'd recommend....
