Footstool

A footstool, also referred to as a footrest, is a common piece of furniture designed to provide comfort to the legs of a person in a sitting posture. The legs are usually placed on a footstool in a position such that they could be stretched out in comfort. Footstools could be chairs, sofas or stools with or without padded upholstery. A typical footstool is a low, wide seat with four legs and without a backrest.

Footstools are often sold along with main sofa sets by furniture dealers and manufacturers. They are usually made of wood, iron and other metals which make them durable and elegant in appearance. The padded upholstery on the footstool comes in a wide array of fabric like leather, wool, etc. An Ottoman is a type of footstool that is heavily padded. Different types of finishes like polishes and paints are applied on these furniture pieces to enhance their appeal. Several manufacturers offer a wide variety of footstools in contemporary, traditional and oriental styles.
