It helps for bad feet
on August 16, 2024
Posted by: Boxnbullz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have plantar fascitus and this helps stretch my feet and prevent them from cramping. It rocks and that can be soothing.
Pros: design, Functionality, Quality Construction
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy you are experiencing relief from cramping, Boxnbullz! Thank you for sharing your excellent experience!
Got this for work and it the tabs that holds it in place broke within 1 m of the purchase. I remember when the 1st tab broke off it kept sqeaking, Then the 2nd one broke shortly after. It looked cheap to begin with, it really should come as 1 piece as they often came apart. Obviously when it was functional, it works well, but that was a short time.
My department purchased this footstool to help prevent further back pain. In the beginning it served its purpose and worked well. After less than a month one of the tabs broke so that the foot rest would not remain on the high setting I needed. I continued to use it with mild irritation. Now after less than a year the other side is broken and the foot rest is essentially useless. I would not recommend this product to anyone and will be passing on my disappointment to the health and safety department so they reconsider who they purchase foot rests from in the future.
As others have said Design Flaw here. I'm a small lady yet I have had 2 of these footrests break within one month! The small plastic bit holding the rester to the base is not strong enough to withstand against expected use.
Like some other reviewers have mentioned there is a huge design flaw with the way the foot rest hooks into the base. I received the footrest as a gift for Christmas and after 3 months of use the plastic tab that keeps the footrest in the groove of the base snapped.
Cons: Quality Construction, Design
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Jared, I am so sorry to see the details of your review. Please give us a call at (800) 945-4545 so that we are able to remedy this matter.
This foot rest has a HUGE flaw! I have broken 2 in the last year. The little tabs that hook on the base and allow for positioning a very weak. I am a small woman and am not excessively strong and only work part time so it's not over use!
Cons: Quality Construction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this footrest a few days ago and I am very happy with the results. I especially like two things 1) the swinging and 2) the bumped upper surface. I use it at home, no shoes on, and the bumps actually provide me with an easy massage. I think that this footrest should be a little heavier so that it would not move as easy.
