Cut-Rate Half-Plastic Crack-Happy After Two Years:

So, I bought this in October 2012, thinking I was getting a durably constructed metal footrest. In point of fact, only the base is metal, while the footrest itself is plastic. It has been used daily since then, true enough — but no undue force has ever been applied to it, nor has it ever been subjected to kids or teens. (Also, I weigh less than 150 lbs.) This October I first noticed that the footrest had started seeming to sag. Inspecting it, I found two cracks: one in the exact center of the footrest, and a more severe one where the plastic bolted to one side of the base. I attempted to jury-rig it with an excess of Gorilla tape, but here we are mere weeks later and the rest has simply broken past the point of usability.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this because I am vertically challenged and wanted to make sure I was ergonomically positioned while working at my desk. I have had this for a while and it works great, I have had no problems or issues!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Broke after 3 Months

I purchased this for my work station and after only 3 months, I shifted my weight in my chair (I'm not a heavy person) and it cracked really loudly. It has cracked a few additional times since then. I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to use it before it has to be completely replaced.
