Solid Construction, Doesn't Position Lock
The materials are pretty solid.  Assembly is simple but not easy. There are four screws that connect the dowels and base of the foot rest.  These screws go through the side plates into the dowels and become tight and difficult to continue turning.  This is partly because the pilot holes are tight but also because you have to hold the dowel tight to keep it from spinning while tightening.  The top of the rest connects using a bolt and nut combo on each side that serves as the pivot hinge for the flowing top.  Mine came with quite a few extra hardware, but as far as I can tell looking at the one page instructions these are just extra.  The top of the foot rest is free floating and has no way to lock the position.  The massage pieces are made of solid plastic, which can be good in the short term for massaging the feet but not great for long term sitting as a foot rest.  Overall the materials are good, but the design is just okay.  It could use a removable pin to lock the rotation of the top if desired.
