Has anyone used this as an under-desk foot rest?

Used it under the desk all the time. It isn't very high like a foot rest would be.But I guess you could if you like.

You could, but if plantar fasciitis is your problem, try The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution.

I am not sure I understand the question. I used it as a coffee table / foot rest in my apartment.

No. I used in temporarily when I was in the process of moving waiting for my regular bed to get moved. Its comfortable but not as comfortable and my posturpedic. Now I just use it as a guest bed.

The foot rest is stationary. You may use it to push on & turn yourself around

I keep a desk leg (or two) on top of the mat to keep it in place. I don't have any problem. The mat is great.

I think the chair would be fine for you, especially if you install the footrest. I am 5'11" and eventually removed the footrest because it wasn't low enough for me (felt like my knees were higher than my hips). If you like to sit back in the seat, I recommend you don't have anything near the chair's feet to obstruct it so that you can get as close to the desk as you need to get. I have a foot stand and it competes with the chair feet so I tend to sit more in the middle or on the edge of the chair than against the back rest.

You are correct. It may be too high even when the seat is at it's top position, but I haven't tried that. I don't think it was built as a foot rest.

I have, it's stable enough, but not comfortable for prolonged use since you have nowhere to rest your arms... it's no replacement for a standing desk.

Ira, did you end up getting it and using for a desk/workstation? If so, please let me know your thoughts. It's my understanding you can make it level, which I think would be more comfortable and make it slower. Thanks!

I don't think it would hold the weight of an adult. It is really just a foot rest. But I love it for that function!

I placed part of the mat under two feet of my desk and have not had a problem. (The desk's feet hold the mat in place.)

There are 2 different versions of this chair, one with the foot rest (shown), one without. I ordered the one with the footrest, returned it (too high). bought the other one, works perfectly for a desk.

Yes I use one of these at my desk. Although this desk, I don't sit at all day long. For a plastic chair I find it very comfortable with a pillow under my "seat".

Not good 'under' a desk. This stepper is made to be used standing up. I would recommend a stationery peddler if you want something under your desk.

I would not use it as a foot stool. It is recomended as a foot rest. It is not "squishy", just nice and soft for resting your feet. It does not flatten out if you have heavy things on you lap.

Wouldn't advise it. The foot rest is a metal plate. No padding. Typically one is leg pressing heavy weights and I certainly prefer footwear.

I would say "Yes" although I have not used it barefoot. You can also place fleece or some comfortable/soft fabric on the top and put your feet on the fabric. The footrest is large enough that fabric with some weight would stay put on it.
