On-Stage FS7850B Guitar Foot Rest,Black

This is a very sturdy foot rest. It works well for all of us. My two kids and myself so the height span is pretty well varied as I'm 5'10". I also know it is very sturdy because it does not slide around when my kids are squirmy or the teacher is re-positioning them. Now I have to admit, I have never had one of these before, so I am not sure what to compare it to, but it seems very comparable to the one their teacher uses. I would recommend this one, I think it is a great value. Update: We did need more so that we would all have one when we play together. I also ended up ordering one for one of their friends. The guitar teacher said this is a very sturdy foot rest. It is a little on the heavy side, his foot rest is lighter, but to me that just means it's a difference in metals used for making it and I don't think it's that heavy. It works great for us and the price is right. Especially since we needed three of them. So far the first one survived the three of us sharing over the summer, so I'm sure the other two will continue on just as well. Very happy with this purchase.

This one is sturdy and does not slide

as i play all of my guitars via classical position (due to playing rhoads v's since starting playing guitar), this footrest is ideal. for years, i've always relied on either sitting on a low-positioned chair, or, positioning my left leg so that i get a sense of stability when practicing. this has always been cumbersome, and sometimes ineffective. and, why i waited so long to purchase such a simple, and effective device, is fault of my own (ha). as i started on a rhoads v, i now play all guitars in the classical kinda positioning, as this is where i'm comfortable/used to arm positioning/etc. i've never been comfortable with other playing positions while seated. the item is sturdy, well-built, and easy to adjust. i'm happy with this item, as it is an aid in my practices.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Very nice. I would like footrests to be adjustable to lower heights, but I can't quibble with the quality, strength or price. Very good product.

This is an excellent and study product. Makes playing the guitar easier. No foot and leg cramps from sitting in odd positions. I play a classical guitar and a full-size dreadnaught which is a bit large for me, so elevating my leg to get the guitar into position is important. This foot rest does the job nicely. Folds flat. Well built. One reviewer commented on getting the wrong product twice. I got the correct product -- Apparently Amazon had corrected the error which was causing wrong product to be shipped. I had this happen recently with a DIFFERENT product and contacted them by phone. Suggestion is that if you have such a problem with ANY amazon product showing repeated errors in shipping that you activate the return option on your order and contact them by PHONE. Tell them that the replacement for one wrong product was wrong again. They need to be notified that errors are occurring so they can fix them. I give Amazon credit for working hard to provide good service to customers. Have been a customer for many years now -- since when they only sold books.

The other reviews for this foot rest called it sturdy and well built. They were right. It can be adjusted to a number of different heights to suit your particular needs - and based on the design of the stand it will stay where it's put. One of the best parts is that while it is stable enough to be the main foot rest where I play my guitar it can be collapsed flat and it easily fits into a bag or backpack - probably around half of the thickness of a chord book, although heavier, as it is steel with a rubber tread on top. It feels like I will own this for a long time - a well priced, good value. Edit 2/2013 After owning this for around a year and using it every day I find that it still looks and works like new. I recommend it highly.

If you're looking for a small and sturdy foot rest that won't break the bank, you've found it. This foot rest is made out of metal with a textured rubber foot pad and rubber feet. You can collapse and/or re-position the height by moving the metal bar between notches found underneath the foot pad. This is a great product at a great price.

I had never owned one of these before, or seen one. So, when it came time to look for one I really did not know what I was looking for. The first thing I have learned is that the stand should be small enough to fold up and it should be made of strong enough material to hold up. This foot stand performs both of these tasks. I was surprised how simple the construction was, and how much easier it made playing the guitar. The proper position of the guitar is important to create less strain on the shoulder, wrist and fingers while playing. My main purpose for purchasing this was for my classical guitar playing. I can also see how this could be useful for playing acoustic guitar too, or any guitar that does not have a strap on it. The height can be adjusted so that it is more comfortable for the seat you are using. I would recommend this product to anyone that is playing guitar and interested in posture and position of the body and guitar.
