A footstool is a piece of low furniture, or a support, designed to elevate the feet to a comfortable position, providing comfort and relaxation. They are often upholstered and can resemble a low ottoman, though they are specifically designed to be a height for resting your feet, not necessarily for seating. Footstools can also be functional, used for other purposes like a makeshift step stool to reach higher places or for improved blood circulation.
