Safety Information
Important: Ensure not to exceed the maximum weight limit of the bamboo footrest to prevent breakage or injury. Always place the footrest on a stable, level surface.
Setup and Assembly
The Myplace Bamboo Adjustable Footrest is designed for easy assembly. Follow these steps to set up your footrest:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: the main footrest panel, two side panels, and simple accessories (screws/knobs).
- Insert Main Panel: Insert the main footrest panel into the corresponding square hole positions on the two side panels. Ensure a snug fit.
- Align and Secure: Identify the circular holes on the side panels. These holes correspond to the desired height and angle settings (0° for horizontal, 17° for slanted). Align the knob with the chosen circular hole and screw it in securely. Repeat for both sides.
- Check Stability: Once assembled, gently test the footrest for stability before use.

Operating Instructions: Adjusting Height and Angle
The footrest offers 7 height levels and 2 angle options (horizontal and slanted) to suit various ergonomic needs and user heights. Its large surface area (15.7" x 11.6") provides ample space for comfortable foot placement.
Adjusting Height (Horizontal Positions):
To adjust the height while maintaining a horizontal footrest surface, you will need to unscrew the knobs, reposition the main panel to a different set of circular holes on the side panels, and then re-secure the knobs. The available horizontal heights are approximately 2.4 inches, 3.5 inches, 4.9 inches, 6.4 inches, and 7.7 inches.

Adjusting Angle (Slanted Positions):
For a slanted footrest surface, the footrest can be set to an angle of approximately 17 degrees. This adjustment also involves unscrewing the knobs, aligning the main panel with the specific circular holes designated for the slanted position, and then re-securing the knobs. Two slanted height options are available: approximately 2.6 inches (front) / 5.5 inches (back) and 3.9 inches (front) / 7.1 inches (back).

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and cleanliness of your bamboo footrest, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: When the surface appears dirty, gently scrub it with a damp towel. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the bamboo finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the footrest dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spots or moisture damage.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and knobs to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Storage: Store the footrest in a dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or cracking of the bamboo.
