They are built around a wooden frame, and are padded with soft foam before being covered with the buyers’ choice of either textile or leather. There are two additional choices of covering available for the drumstool. Any buyer wanting the look of leather without the additional cost is able to choose a faux-leather covering.

Legs for your footstool


When selecting a fabric or leather for your footstool the finishing touch is to carefully choose an appropriate leg that is both in keeping with the product size and adds a decorative statement. Here we consider each and every element with the vast choice of legs that will provide you with the best result.

The primary decision to be made is to assess how the legs will match the rest of your furniture. If you have mahogany as the predominant wood in your sofas and tables then mahogany legs will be your appropriate choice. Should your wooden floors be pine or light oak then a lighter choice of wood for your legs should be considered.

The selection criteria covers our complete range of footstools and we have left no stone unturned by giving our customers a variety of legs for all settings. For the modern look our contemporary legs are available in mahogany, natural, mid oak and pine shades. Our Turned Metal with Brushed Finish feet provide the contemporary look for footstools in modern apartments and studio flats. The Small Polished Metal Foot is designed specifically for Cubes and provides a winning combination whether you choose leather or a fabric option. Alternative and always popular contemporary legs include the Tall Polished Metal Leg, the Turned Cone Leg (available in mahogany, natural, mid oak and pine shades) and the Turned Bun Foot also available in these four shade options. If you require extra height then the Tall Contemporary Leg is what you are looking for.

For those customers looking for a classical, traditional footstool leg then they should consider the decorative offerings in both wood and metal (or a combination of both). For greater flexibility then a leg choice with castors adds to the traditional look. Our most popular leg in this category is the Turned leg with Brass Casters. This leg not only looks good but provides excellent manoeuvrability, particularly for customers with wooden floors. The leg is available in the four main wood shades combined with a brass wheel base. To complete the “classical appearance” the Turned Leg in Metallic Finish with Chrome Castors is an excellent choice for those customers who choose a footstool to match existing ornate classical furniture.

With this in mind we are confident you will find just the leg you are looking for to finalise that special purchase of your funky footstool.

Yet Another Humble footstool!


The humble footstool began its life as a random item, designed to take the weight off muddy boots. People found that sitting with their legs outstretched was a more natural and comfortable position when sitting upright, and this simple device allowed weight to be distributed more proportionally. This in turn, provided them with higher levels of relaxation and comfort, commencing the continual search for things to rest their heels on.At this point, chairs were reserved for those of importance such as dignitaries, and the everyday man would instead use backless stools to perch on – which were inevitably grabbed occasionally for those on chairs to rest their royal feet on.

The realisation that the human form is just not designed to be seated for long periods of time still rings true today. Also unchanged in time, sitting bolt upright often encouraged the crossing of legs, which is known to cut off the full blood flow to the lower limbs and affect the alignment of the spine.The footstool was made even more practical and popular with the realisation that, medically speaking, raising one’s legs meant better circulation.

It wasn’t long before upholsterers began to apply the same ideas to four-legged stools as was used on the main seating, with many designs and patterns to choose from, and features such as padded tops began to make an appearance too.Soon, the footstool, like the chair, was available to purchase in an array of styles, colours and fabrics, from leather to linen. This made what was originally an ancillary item, start to stand out in a room and begin its evolution into a design icon in its own right. As time marched on, homeowners realised that when produced in line and in height with the sofa and matching chairs that now adorned every living room, they could also add to their available seating with the added bonus of the footstool being more mobile.

Now also considered a useful storage area, function has combined with comfort as many footstools are now made hollow with a lid for storing magazines and newspapers. Commonly known as ottomans, these are designed to take the clutter of items like magazines or extra cushions and linens from the initial view of the room while keeping them within easy access. Bench stools are space savers that are more elongated in shape and are ideal to slot under your window sill when not being used to relieve your joints. These can sometimes be made with arms and look like a miniature but backless version of your sofa and are reminiscent of a modern day chaise.A style very popular now is the large square ottoman, which has a number of uses: from coffee table to storage unit, as well as for resting your feet on of course, these now come in a range of designs to make an attractive centrepiece.
