Gramps Sure Step Foot Rest is ergonomically designed not only to provide
comfort at home or at your work place, but to reduce stress due to sitting
for long periods of time.
Today most companies go to foreign countries to
reduce production costs and are primarily interested in providing the consumer
with a stool that is more appealing then functional. Gramps Wood Shop is
old fashioned, my Sure Step Foot Rest is made here in America. My goal is to
build you a foot rest that will serve a purpose.
Lower backaches are the second most common reasons
for doctor visits, after cold and flu symptoms, and some 80% of Americans have
back pain at some time in their lives. Do you know what to do for an aching
back?
A growing number of people are suffering from lower
back and neck pain because they are not sitting at their computer
properly. They are either leaning forward or sliding down in their chair
causing undue strain on their back and neck. We all know that bad habits are
hard to break. My Sure Step Foot Rest is designed to help you sit properly. It
is angled to reduce pressure on the back of your thigh and helps you sit in
the proper position to prevent you from leaning forward or to slouch, thereby
reducing stress on the small of your back and neck. Gramps Sure Step
Foot Rest can make sitting on your
favorite chair or sofa at home or at your work place an enjoyable experience.
You will be surprised the difference it makes.
To satisfy the needs of persons whose height range is from under 5'- 4" to
over 6', I have designed 4 separate foot rests all with a 15 degree incline.
The Basic Foot Rest is designed for persons who are 5' 10" or taller. It is
the only foot rest where your heel sits on the floor and the ball of your
foot rests on the stool. The actual size is 15" wide and 7.25" deep.
All of the other three Foot Rests are 15" wide, 10" deep and the full foot
sets upon the stool.
The Foot Rest you select will be made of either solid oak or poplar. It comes
fully assembled and is available in a color of your choice; see chart below
for your selection.

Testimonials
"Dear Gramps, Thank you very much
for introducing me to your inclined footrest. After more than 20 years of
working at a desk, I've become accustomed to the discomfort in my lower
back, even with "ergonomic" chairs. It was amazing when the twinges of
pain disappeared immediately after positioning my feet on your inclined
footrest! I hadn't realized that my back could actually feel such
relief sitting up, not to mention easing the pressure on my legs. I am
using your wonderful invention at work continuously and would recommend
it to anyone who sits for long periods of time."

"My personal hand made
foot rest arrived today. First of all, you did a fine job in
making it and finishing it. This compliment comes from the daughter of a
furniture finisher and the wife of a cabinet maker!!!! Now for the first
time in years, I actually was able to watch TV for 2 hours without
fidgeting and moving my legs so my knees don't hurt! Thank you very
much...."
~Sue S. (Clinton Township, MI)
"The foot rest arrived
today in perfect condition. My wife had only two words to say the
first time she sat down and popped up her feet - "WOW! Perfect!".
I think it is the first time in x-t-x years that she could sit
in a chair like a normal person. We thank you very much !!"

"The foot rest arrived...
it matches the desk quite well and is just the right size for the person
who uses it...she is all of 5'2" so we had to buy a desk with a lower
surface, smaller chair...and we had a rollout keyboard table installed
that is lower then most people will tolerate... Your foot rest completes
the arrangement....."

" I received the footrest
on Monday, and I love it! I can finally sit at my desk without fidgeting
around to get comfortable and no longer slide forward in my desk chair.
Plus , it really does take the pressure off my legs and back and is a much
better solution than buying a new desk chair! The
footrest is well built and the wood and finish are beautiful, nice and
smooth with no sharp edges." Thank you.

If you decide to place
an order with me, DON'T. I would first suggest you contact
me at
grampswoodshop@yahoo.com and provide me with some information
in regards to your height and how you intend to use your Foot
Rest. This information will help me select the type of Foot Rest that
will ensure your comfort.
After the proper Foot
Rest is selected and you have decided upon the type of wood and finish,
then place your order with me. I will cut, assemble, sand and stain your
Foot Rest in the color of your choice. Then several coats of protective
finish will be applied by hand. The end result is a high quality
product at a reasonable price that you can use with confidence for
years to come.

If you
elect to purchase the Sure Step
Stool, expect shipment in 7-to-10
working days due to the fact that by
selecting a stain of your choice,
additional time is required for the
finishing process.
If for
any reason, you are not completely
satisfied with my Sure Step Foot
Rest you have 10 days after delivery
to return the stool. You will
receive a 100% refund, less shipping
and handling fees, as long as the
stool is returned in saleable
condition.
