What customers say
The primary appeal of the 19th Century Small Garden Footstool lies in its exceptional design and robust quality. Consumers are delighted by the authentic, charming aesthetic, confirming it successfully captures the historical look promised.

Know before you buy
While the piece is designed for indoor/outdoor use, it is a 19th-century antique. To preserve the integrity of the rush seat and the wood frame, we recommend keeping it in a covered outdoor area and bringing it inside during inclement weather.
The rush seat is best maintained by gently vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as moisture can cause the natural fibers to weaken or mildew over time.
As an authentic 19th-century piece, the frame may have slight variations due to its age and handmade construction. If you find it wobbles on a hard surface, a small felt or rubber furniture pad under one leg will easily stabilize it.
At 5 inches, this stool is quite low to the ground, making it ideal as a dedicated footrest for a lounge chair or as a decorative perch for plants and books. It is not designed for standard seating height.
Because this is a genuine antique, each piece features unique signs of age, including a soft patina and subtle wear. These characteristics are part of its historical charm and ensure that your specific stool is one-of-a-kind.
