Product Description
The FM500 provides perfect support for the feet and legs to ease pressures on the lower back when sitting. With curved supports to encourage healthful rocking, the FM500 offers a surprising amount of functionality in a simple and elegant package. Studies have shown that 70% of all women and 40% of all men have health issues such as blood clots, varicose veins and pressure on the Achilles tendon due to pooling of fluids in the lower limbs ? the result of prolonged, inactive sitting. The foot machine, with its ball-bearing, roller design encourages gentle rocking of the feet in the same way a rocking chair encourages movement. This rocking motion uses most of the lower leg muscles and increases healthful circulation. The foot machine also performs as a standard foot rest, providing support for the legs and relieving pressure on the lower back. Comes in Black or Cherry color.

Well made but pricey. Looks good. The problem is that it keeps moving forward. I have tried a rubber mat that should stop it but to no avail. I need to pull it back often. I cannot think of any help for this. I have tried to use it on tile as well as carpet and a non skid mat. Always the same. I'll live with it, I guess.

I did not really try out any footrests at stores. I ordered this off of amazon since it was the best model that humanscale makes. I have a herman miller mirra chair, and i use this footrest with it. The footrest is comfortable and fun since it rocks. It is a very attractive piece of furniture, though i think the price is a bit high (~$82 shipped).Some people might complain that it is not height-adjustable, but that problem is easily remedied by putting a few boards underneath it. I do not have this problem as the footrest is the right height for me but figured I would just add this in to the review.I hope this helps!

My son purchased this for me as a gift, and it was much appreciated, since I work at my desk all day. But after just a couple of months, the rubber strip along the bottoms of the rockers started to come unglued and portions broke off. The company sent a replacement, and within another couple of months, same thing. The design of the footrest, the height, etc., are all fine, but the weak point is the "interface" between the metal rockers and the floor -- a pretty important detail that they haven't quite got right. Too bad.
