"Definitely improves circulation," an Amazon shopper wrote, noting that it helped "reduce swelling" in their feet.
Although there are plenty of customer reviews, some Amazon shoppers said they wished the footrest was "heavier" or "bulkier." Others said their footrest made some squeaking noises and would slide on hard flooring. For that reason, one shopper recommended putting a non-slip rug under the foot rest to keep it in place while you work.
What's the verdict?
Whether you're back at the office or still working from home, a footrest can help prevent back pain and improve your posture, which means less aches and pains at the end of a long day of work.
At its sale price of $32, this footrest is an affordable ergonomic addition to your workspace, but might not be ideal if you have hard flooring.
