My son asked for this a while ago, because it's just too taxing on his feet and legs to sit without them in a raised position while gaming and watching videos for hours on end, every single day of his life. So, I did as any good mother would do, and waited until Christmas to get him one. Amazingly, his legs didn't fall off in the time between asking and receiving. However, I never hear him complain of leg pain, or foot pain, or restless leg syndrome. Therefore, I think this must really do a great job keeping his feet rested and well. He said it's quite comfortable and the fabric isn't too scratchy (13 yr old descriptions here). He also says that if you need a change of pace, pop a pillow, or the dirty t-shirt laying on the floor below it, on top and pop your feet above it. It's like an ottoman made of cottony Hanes goodness.
Overall, this is a pretty nifty little, ummm....thing. It's comfortable, and you can adjust it to the height you want. The orange is a great color if you want to hide the filth that your dirty feet leave behind. I would definitely suggest it to any friend asking me if I knew where to find a good desk foot hammock. Since you are reading this review, I take it you may be thinking yourself of purchasing one. I highly suggest you take the plunge and get this one. You won't regret it.
Listen up, nerds! This is awesome. It accomplishes the same thing as a foot stool or a strategically placed cardboard box, only it's a hammock. For your feet. Therefore it's much better. I bought mine for work and had to have the facilities guys install it, because my desk goes from wall to wall. They just screwed it into the bottom of the desk and bingo-bango, I'm suddenly partially recumbent. The materials are decent quality (wood, canvas, rope, and metal), and they've withstood my leg weight and my fancy work shoes with aplomb. Highly recommend.
I work from home and was looking for low cost alternative to put my feet up and relieve lower back pain while sitting at my desk. Was a little concerned about how it would fit on my desk since I have a glass with metal legs modern style desk, but it does just fine. Only having it for a few days, I can't say that it has relieved my back pain, but it was easy to install and easy to adjust. I've not had any problems with it slipping.
Been pleasantly surprised by the comfort so far and would recommend it for someone wanting a stylish, economic way to raise their feet.
**Update 3/11/16 I've now had this for about a month now. I really like this foot hammock. Noticed a significant decrease in my lower back pain at night because I'm putting my feet up and I'm even thinking about getting a second one to place on the other side of my L desk.
Now, this is good for me because I am Korean but for other people it's going to make them scratch their head, wondering why the manual is only in Korean.
Don't let this discourage you from purchasing though, installation is very simple, you don't even need to look at the manual to be honest. And also it's very very comfortable, now I don't have to put my feet on the trash bin!
The hammock works pretty well if you can find a place to latch the hooks onto. The hooks are just flat metal pieces so it's hard to stick it to the top of your desk without having something to hold them down.
Otherwise, the hammock itself is soft and comfortable. It does the job. It's just not very stable because of the hooks themselves.

Description
The foot hammock. This unique hammock design replaces that extra chair you use to prop your feet up. The foot rest is a desk hammock designed specifically for resting your feet. It hooks onto either side of any desk with two metallic clips. You can adjust the length of the the rope from 200 mm to 450 mm. The setup consists of a narrow strip of canvas and a set of clips to mount on either end of your desk that hold small lengths of rope. When it's fully installed you're free to adjust the height between "work" and "rest" mode. Made from cotton, steel & polyethylene.
I am using it well, it holds onto the table and everything. No major problems. I wish they had better instructions about adjusting the ropes for changing the height. It ends up being very experimental and sometimes the way I adjusted the ropes just falls apart and my legs fall off out of the blue.
Also - it has not really resolved my discomfort much. I find it hard to balance my feet/legs on a bit.
This product is a god-send. My reality is so much more comfortable now that I can put my legs up while gaming. Easy enough to maneuver to your preferences. I gave it 4-stars on account of the fact that the sticky grips that rest on the table came off almost immediately. They are glued to the metal connectors and cannot handle any weight. Luckily, this thing is so cozy that I don't mind the fact that it is currently scratching up my Ikea desk. Would not recommend if you have an expensive wooden desk that you'd prefer to keep pristine.
Take the load off! This feet hamock is easy to install and it solves a lot of discomfort especially if you spend a lot of time at the desk! Kick your feet up and take a break or kick back and read on! Well worth the investment! Highly revommend it!
Awesome, but the desk i have i had to drill it onto, so its modable. But i wouldnt mount on my desh sides, so had to put under on keyboard tray rack. After i mounted it had no issues. Used to fall down sometimes while feet r hanging. Either the metal, or the ropes would come loose. Good buy over all
Did exactly what I purchased it for, however where it is sown over the wood the threads came apart and now it’s useless, however I will be fixing but still disappointed with it after such short use that it broke. Otherwise a good product
