I always play with my right heel up in the air from the ball of my foot to get a little lift on the guitar.  This can become quite uncomfortable during long practices.  So I ordered this from Amazon and tonight is my first time using it.  It is amazingly comfortable.  I recommend to anyone who likes their right leg a little higher than the left.

Hey rkl312, I've been wanting a foot rest, but I dabble in wood working and would like to build one.  I have some oak left over from a Christmas project that would work great.  I have a question though, I know the ones like you bought are adjustable, mine will be fixed.  What is a comfortable height?  I'm right at 6' if that helps.  I was going to try different objects until I found a comfortable height, but you may cut some of the R&D time with a close measurement LOL.  Anyway, that question might be a stretch, but figured I would throw it out there anyway. 

Thanks

@KYSLOWFINGERS I am 5 9 and I have it on the lowest setting, about 6 inches.  I havent played around with the height much.  It's comfortable for me where it is.  Maybe get some books and stack them at different heights to see where your comfort level is.
