HUANUO Footrest Under Desk

Featuring a 30 degree tilt angle, enough adjustments to make a Cadillac Low-rider blush, and an addictive center rolling foot massage area, the Huanuo Footrest is as fun to use as is ergonomic. Your office suitemates will get annoyed at the rolling of the foot massage rollers but you won’t care because you’ll be in comfy feet mode bliss and unable to hear their cries for you to stop being annoying.

  • More style than substance, looks amazing but lacks multi-adjustments

Lilithye Footrest for Desk Adjustable Height 2-in-1 Function Rotatable Ergonomic Under Desk Footrest Ottoman Stool Rolling Leg Rest for Home Office

 

Product Description: The Lilithye Footrest by Lilithye is an adjustable height 2 in 1 footrest and ottoman. Its style to me is directly influenced by the Herman Miller Aeron line and I believe it would be a great addition to that chair in any office. The Lilithye Footrest features a sturdy 3 leg base and the top features a concave design that allows your feet to nestle perfectly. While not the most ergonomic, this footrest is great for watching Netflix on your computer or working on a spreadsheet.

PROS

CONS

  • Stylish design- would perfectly match with the Herman Miller Aeron
  • Sturdy Base and strong design allow for use as an ottoman
  • Adjustable
  • Not the most ergonomic design for those that need a footrest for extended hours
