Footrests FAQ
DEAS (Desk Ergonomics Assessment Score) is Desk Doctor’s product rating system. Each product is scored across core performance, build quality, and design penalties, producing a 0–10 composite — higher is better. Tap any row in the table to see the full sub-score breakdown.
You need one if, at a correct desk height, your feet don’t rest flat on the floor. That’s common for shorter users and at fixed-height desks. The free assessment calculates it precisely.
A fixed footrest is simpler and cheaper and works if you know your exact gap. An adjustable model is safer if you’re unsure or share the desk — it tunes to the height you actually need.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
