Learn how to build an office foot rest to keep yourself comfortable while you work from home or your kids as they are practicing virtual learning. This foot rest is simple to build or you can dress it up with special wood.<\/h3>\n

Being a DIY blogger means I spend a lot of time in my workshop building things, but once those projects are finished, I end up spending a lot of time at my desk editing photos, videos, and typing up tutorials like this one. I\u2019m not exactly tall, so it\u2019s always a little uncomfortable to sit for any period of time at my desk, as my feet don\u2019t fully reach the floor. I decided I wanted to build an office foot rest to make myself a little more comfortable while I\u2019m working at my computer.<\/p>\n

With schools closed to in-person learning right now, my boys are also distance learning at home, which means they\u2019re in front of the computers while they are also in school. My oldest is super tall, so he has no issue at all with his feet reaching the ground at his desk, but my youngest isn\u2019t that tall yet. I decided to build a second foot rest for him as well and it\u2019s a little bit taller so he feels a little more comfortable while working at my computer.<\/p>\n

Office Foot Rest Two Ways<\/h3>\n

This foot rest is super simple to build with very minimal materials and is perfect for all skill levels. Just a simple board cut to size and some hairpin legs. That being said, I couldn\u2019t leave it at just that. I wanted to have a little fun with some new to me techniques, making a patterned plywood foot rest for myself! It was super fun and I\u2019ve put together a whole tutorial on building both types of office foot rests.<\/p>\n

I put together a YouTube video to show you how I made each of the foot rests.<\/p>\n
