You are right, to an extent. If you look closely you will note it’s up on a pedestal and there’s about 6 inches all around to get your feet under. For face work there’s a foot or so of legroom at the top and some at the bottom under the legs. It’s not perfect, but I’m not doing too many marathons anymore except on myself.I’d considered getting a little stool to put the pedal on when working on myself.
