[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my new footrest while working on my computer and it has definitely improved my ergonomics. The footrest is very wide with plenty of space for your feet. It has a slight rock to it which allows you to get in a position comfortable for you. The only thing I'd prefer is if the height were adjustable, but at its current height it works great to get my body in alignment. I received this product through Stellar Product Testing.

Hi Neech83! We value your feedback and recommendation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work full-time from home and sit at my desk for about 6-7 hours. The Breyta footrest is a big improvement from the cardboard box I had been using. I appreciate the classic design and black color which fits in with my natural style. My favorite feature is having the option to either use the footrest in the stable position or when I start getting fidgety I can transition it to a rocking position. Assembly and changing the position is easy and straightforward. The material seems to be a hard plastic that is thick and appears to be very durable which will hopefully be long lasting. This will also be easy to wipe clean when/if needed. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this office accessory.

Hi cgil28. Thank you so much for your great feedback! We value your recommendation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Breyta Footrest is a great addition to my workspace. I love how easy it is to put together. It comes with 3 simple parts - the foot rest and 2 removable legs. You can set the legs to sit normally, or flip them over to create a rocking foot rest. I personally love the rocking feature, as I'm constantly moving around and fidgeting at my desk. This really allows me to keep my motion and concentration without getting up constantly. I definitely feel like my body is thanking me for using this product. My back doesn’t ache like it did from sitting for so long. The footrest is very compact and easy to store, which makes it perfect for any office space. It's very well made and feels incredibly sturdy. I'm really pleased with it! I recieved this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well.. this is a product I never thought I needed or would help me. I work from home, and my work station isn’t exactly ergonomically set up. I thought the footrest would be silly and wouldn’t help me at all, but boy was I surprised! It has been super comfortable and has helped my seating situation a lot! I do think this footrest will help me in the long run. I love that there’s two ways to do it (I mostly use the side that you can ‘rock’) and I especially love that it’s portable. You can take off the sides and put them underneath, and it has a ‘handle’ you can carry it by. This is especially useful as sometimes I do go into our office and I would like to be comfortable when I’m there. Thank you Stellar Panel for sending me this office accessory in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the community, Barb! We value your recommendation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product through the Stellar Testing Panel and the high quality foot rest is a nice addition to my office as I can stretch out and get a quick change in position without having to move while on back to back calls. The design allows me to flex my calves without the footrest sliding around. One area to be aware of, as a hard plastic the footrest works better for me when I have slippers on, rather than being barefoot.

Thank you for providing the excellent feedback, pjo8r8. We appreciate your honest opinion and value your recommendation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fellowes Breyta footrest overall is a solid product. I have long legs and sit for many hours at a computer for work. Previously I would use the support bar on my desk to lift my feet and obtain a more ergonomic position for my back, however that bar was too high for optimal comfort.
I’ll start with the cons as there is one thing and the reason for 4 stars from me. The texture on the footrest is not the most comfortable on bare feet. It is not unusable and in shoes is perfectly fine. I’m assuming it’s for anti-slip purposes, but as I work from home I am barefoot a majority of the time at my desk.
For pros: the overall design and storage of the legs is simple and convenient. They have storage slots on the underside they easily slip into and out of. There are 3 options - standard tilt, elevated tilt, and a rocking tilt. I used all three and found the standard tilt to be the most comfortable.
It is large enough for an array of foot sizes but not so big it doesn’t fit under the desk or cause issues with my chair placement. However a small writing table or closes back desk might cause some issues. I am a size 10 shoe and have plenty of room above and below my feet.
Overall I am very pleased and have been using it daily and do find I end up with my feet flat and less fidgety throughout the day. It also reduces the times I cross my legs which is horrible posture for your hips and back. It also allows me to naturally push back in my chair for a better back alignment and less slouching.
Thank you to my friends over at the Stellar Product Testing Panel for adding this office accessory into my daily life!

Thank you for the detailed and favorable review! We value your feedback!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this footrest to try from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. What I like and dislike at the same time is how big it is. While it can accommodate many different resting positions, it’s also large enough to get in the way when you are trying to get up from your desk.
It is also very simple. No tools needed to adjust the configurations to your liking. I also enjoy that is rocks back & forth. Helps a bit with my fidgeting.
Overall I would recommend this footrest if you have the space for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Breyta Footrest free through Stellar Product Testing Panel and wanted to share my thoughts on its design, quality, and overall functionality.
The footrest has a sleek yet simple design—nothing flashy, but it blends well in both a home office and a workplace setting. It isn’t bulky, making it easy to fit under a desk without taking up unnecessary space. It's portability is what I like the most about the Breyta Footrest, it makes it easy to move back and forth from both my desks and keeps me comfortable no matter where I am working for the day.
In terms of quality, the footrest feels sturdy and well-made. While it’s a basic design, it serves its purpose effectively. It provides adequate support and comfort.
Overall, the Breyta Footrest is a functional and comfortable solution for those looking to improve their seating posture and reduce leg fatigue. While it doesn’t have any standout aesthetic features, it performs exactly as expected. I enjoy using it and will continue to do so.
