I am looking for a foot rest that can be used to step on with one foot while I'm using my standing desk. Is this firm enough for that?

Yes I think it would work well. It's pretty firm when you step on it, but very comfortable!
50818
It's fairly cushy and I personally think it would be a little too soft for that.
50819
You could stand on it, but it is not sturdy so I wouldn't recommend doing that.

I don't think it's quite firm enough for that. And it seems like it wouldn't hold it's shape long if you were constantly stepping on it. You might want something a little more sturdy.

This foot cushion is pretty firm. But I'm not sure if you want to put your weight on it because it will take you out of balance. If you just wish to rest one leg then it should be ok. Good luck.
50822
No. The cushion is firm enough to rest feet on but no firm enough to step on.

yes, I use it a a foot stool in my motorhome where the floor is flat and uncomfortable. works well.

I believe it might provide support when new, but don't know how it might break-in. They have one specifically labeled "firm". For my weight (220) there was no cush for my tush.

Depends on which one you choose. I know there is an option that can fit a thicker desk, but unsure how large it can accommodate. The most common ergo rest is the one used on a normal desk.

It might be a stretch. I'm 5'10", sometimes I wear heels, but this puts me right at 6" and I find my positioning, especially wrist and keyboard, aren't as comfortable as standing flat foot. You could always stack it on another platform on your desk, but at that point you might just want to build yourself a custom one. That aside, I've been standing since the start of the year and I love it!

To make it easy to use for a standing desk you would need some kind of ring or step bar to get you higher on the seat. I actually use this in the kitchen to work at the stove or counter and do not put it up as far as I would like due to my own physical problems. It would go high enough. With rubber soled shoes I step on one of the legs of the chair to hoist myself a little higher on the seat.

I do not use the foot rest. I can push against my computer workstation with my feet and the chair goes back and forwards maybe a foot. It had a med feeling spring return to center but overall it is a confortable feeling rocking sensation. Chair tilts back slightly when pushed backwards and manually using lever reclines a good ways to the point where you are almost laying flat.

Definitely not, too much movement on this chair and the bottom works itself loose from the base. Too low for desk and would be very uncomfortable.

Can't say that I have tried as foot rest especially while shaving. But if you don't have items to fill the shelves I suppose it could be used as a foot rest. Guess it would depend on whether you stand up or sit to shave. Doubt this would be covered by the manufacturers warranty but I'm amazed every day how strange this world is becoming, including today.

No, I would strictly use it to rest my feet or sit on. Does not open up for storage and I don't think it would support much weight if you stood on it.

I don't feel I'm qualified to answer that question since I purchased mine for use as part of my physical therapy regiment for a broken back. It is rather firm, but how it will fit your space you want to fill...I don't know.

Think of this item as a see-saw - you may either point it downward like " \ " towards legs or upwards " / " or parallel to floor based of how and where you position your legs on this. Although there is a height adjustment. I find it useful for me as I am 5.1" and gives me the extra support or height adjustment for my legs when I sit at my desk. Occasionally because of see-saw movement I can do leg exercises. Hope that helps

This is some rather firm kind of foam and not very thick. 1/3"??? I don't think it would be good for an adult standing on for long periods of time and I think it would be too soft to aupport a chair. I got it for an infant to use under her jumping chair to soften her landings.

No. You push it down with your feet and the foot rest is actually so tight that you have to use your hands to close it completely. I think it will loosen up over time.

I use it off the edge of the desk, and it did develop a small crack in the front. I still continue to use it that way and it does give when I rest my wrists on it. It would be best if it had support. I was thinking about seeing if I could add support under the front edge.

Not bad. The foot rest seems pretty strong. I haven't used it to sit for hours.

It's definitely sturdy, and I feel comfortable standing there. The bottom step is about the width of my foot in a shoe and I can put both feet on there and feel very secure. It locks in place so you can feel confident and safe. You can also brace your legs somewhat against the top step for extra support. I think you could stand there for some time without trouble.

I am 5ft. 5in. tall and i use the padded ankle rest to climb up. I straddle the foothold backing up to the seat, grab onto the frame and use the padded ankle rest to push up on. Works for me. Because the frame is so widespread i would think a step stool might not be the safest option for individuals who are a little unstable or weak. It could be a long way down to the floor in the event of a fall.
