Fig. 254. Footstool.

The dimensions of this stool are: Legs, 2 1/2 inches square by 12 inches long; side rails, 7/8 inch by 3 1/2 inches by 12 inches between the legs.

The ordinary turning stock, 1 3/4 inches square, is large enough for most footstool legs. The length may be anything from 8 to 16 inches. Footstools should not be higher than they are wide.
