Fidget Friendly Footrest
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: CRF13
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The look and design of the footrest is well thought out. I have been using this at work for a couple of weeks now and it has become a hot commodity at the front desk and my coworkers keep trying to steal it, too. The design allows enough pressure to be taken off from my hips and provides relief from lower back strain. I appreciate that the grooves run diagonal and fashioned using a wavier design so that my shoes do not slip off. The removable foot pieces designed for rocking are probably my favorite feature, as I am super fidgety and tend to bounce my knees or shake my feet! With this said, if the rocking feature doesn't suit you, the footrest has built in storage for the removable feet right under the platform. This item was well-made and sturdy, and feels as though it could last a lifetime. The only negative I have is the size of the product. It is quite large, which makes me unable to push my chair all the way under the desk; thus, creating a tripping hazard for myself and my coworkers since we all share the same work station. I would recommend keeping the footrest width, as it allows proper hip alignment from the body, but would consider shortening length from front to back of the platform by a couple of inches. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office accessory.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Office foot rest
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: Scotty923
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office accessory. The footrest is an exceptional concept with some flaws. I used this footrest at my kitchen table where I work on my laptop during the day. The quality of the footrest is amazing, it is extremely sturdy and pleasing to the eye. However there was an extremely odd and obnoxious smell coming off of it. The footrest offers three different modes to rest your feet on. Using the risers to lift the footrest up felt good at first but quickly became uncomfortable to me causing hip discomfort. The risers do easily come out in order to store or flip them over for rocking mode. Unfortunately the rocking mode was quite uncomfortable as well. I felt the same hip discomfort and the rocking motion did not seem natural. I finally easily popped out the risers again and tried the footrest with no risers at all. It was very comfortable at that point. My hips felt good and I felt as if there was less pressure on my back. After one hour of use all still felt good. When I was done with work I placed the risers back into the bottom of the footrest with ease. This option makes a simple way to store the risers when not in use. Overall it was a good product with a great design.

Posture Power
on January 29, 2025
Posted by: Aubster
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Posture power! I have been looking for a product to help me with my long desk hours. I run a small ministry out of my home and I home school four littles. We live in Monterey CA and are always busy. I am constantly looking for ways to improve. I’ve notice that I have been slouching more and more at my desk and this foot rest has really helped me be conscientious of my posture. Its presence alone is enough to remind me to sit up straight. Another thing is that, though I’m only 34, I have old achy knees and I can tell already that this product is going to help with my knee pain. Thank you to the Stellar Testing Panel for providing me with this much needed product. I am super grateful.

Essential
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: Krys
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5'4" and often feel the pains of sitting at a desk on my lower thighs. I've used tricks around my office such as stacked books or one of the kiddos step stools but they aren't ideal or slip and move. This is the perfect solution. The design and simple and subtle. It's just there, doing its awesome job. I have no doubt it will last my lifetime. Very sturdy and has decent weight.
I use this in my office at my desk mainly but I've also toted it to the couch (which is also too high for this shorty) and had a much better experience on a recent snow day watching movies with the kids. Ergonomics are important guys!
What I like about the Breyta Footrest is my hips in addition to my legs are getting the proper circulation they need and do not ache! Very thankful!

Sleek comfort and design
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: Footrest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never used a footrest while sitting at a desk or working on a computer before and I don't know why it took this long! I change positions a lot from crossing my legs to sitting on my feet and then I tend to cut off circulation to one of my legs, so I've benefited immensely from this footrest. It gives your feet somewhere to rest with comfort and support, in addition to the rocking feature, which promotes circulation. It has an adjustable height, so you can decide how bent or straight you would like your knees, and it's quick and easy to adjust. I don't own any other footrests, but from what I've seen it appears to be more sleek and less bulky than others on the market. It's easy to transport if you need to store it somewhere when not in use or you can push it under the desk to keep it out of sight. I spend probably 75% of my work at a desk, so I get a lot of use out of this footrest and it's held up really well the last few weeks of use. My only con would be the size of the footrest, I would prefer a small platform for myself, and wish it came in different sizes.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office accessory.

Breyta Footrest
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The Breyta Footrest is 5 stars in comfort, design, and portability! Being a school nurse, I need something that is easy to clean and ergonomic. I was really struggling with my current set up and a footrest ended up being what I needed to relieve much of my lower back and hip pain. The footrest seems durable enough for me to be able to get long usage and allows me to clean it without fear of ruining the product. The design has a “rocking” feature that allows me to still feel active while sitting at my desk (as someone who enjoys moving my legs and rocking). I also appreciated the nonskid lining on the bottom. I was expecting this to be much heavier, but I can honestly carry it with one hand and it’s super leightweight, but it truly doesn’t feel cheap. What I liked most about this foot rest was its portability and size. I can easily remove it from under my desk, if needed. The sides have a hole so you can pick it up with ease. Overall, it’s simple and durable and seems to make all the difference for me! I’ve included picture below of the product as is, the treaded bottom, and the side angle.

Comfort for Your Feet
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: NicB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Breyta Footrest is a game changer for anyone who spends long work hours sitting at a desk. It is easy to assemble and store away when not in use. It provides the perfect elevation, three height positions, to ensure comfortable seating to fit your needs. From the moment I added this footrest to my workspace, it has impacted my productivity throughout my workday. It easily fits under my desk, giving me extra room for my chair. What I love most about this footrest is the rocking platform, seems like a great touch to help with circulation and reduce fatigue. I would definitely recommend to those who spend their days sitting at a desk. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office accessory.

Breyta Footrest
on February 1, 2025
Posted by: Mimi
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design of the footrest is quite straightforward, and I found the assembly process to be remarkably simple, taking only about a minute. Adjusting between the three height settings was also effortless. Regarding quality, it’s quite basic—there are no extravagant features or embellishments. I primarily use this footrest at my desk, frequently changing between the three height options based on my activities, which has been a pleasant change since I previously did not use a footrest but was keen to try one. What I appreciate most about this footrest is its lightweight nature, making it easy to move around, and the straightforward adjustment mechanism. Overall, while it serves its purpose adequately, I would be interested in exploring a more comfortable option in the future.
