I've been using one of these lately. Maybe not quite as good as a high school desk, but (a) you can roll back & forth over it until it works all the kinks out; and (b) no worries about getting my middle-aged gut stuck in a school desk.
I hate that they advocate that this "will only cost you $10". If you want a roller of any decency, it's going to cost at least 3x that.
I love my roller. The first one I got I went cheap on and it's warped all out of shape. My 2 year old gets great joy out of it now.
Which is what I'm discovering now. Bought one on Amazon for $12 figuring that's what they cost. Been using it 2-3 times a day for 3 weeks and it's almost ineffective now (6'4", 225lbs may have something to do with it, though).
EDIT: This is what I bought and it was $17.
I've never heard of a foam roller that doesn't work. Many people start with a softer blue/white roller and gradually work their way towards the firmer black. If they're crazy, like the MIT XC team, they start using pvc pipes.
I use this one.
