Living and Home Breckin Wood Dressing Footstool Review

What Are You Buying?

1. Traditional Style Footstool

If you are looking for something a bit different from modern footstools and ottomans, the Living and Home footstool is a great choice.

While most modern footstools are covered almost completely by padding and upholstery, the Breckin footstool has an exposed wooden base with only the top being padded.

The exposed base adds a lot of interesting detail to the footstool. It features two pairs of X-shaped legs, giving the footstool a traditional look. The thick padded seat is covered in contemporary grey upholstery with tufted buttons adding a nice texture to the padded surface.

The combination of the X-shaped legs and the modern upholstery ensures the Living and Home footstool goes well with any decor. The modern black finish on the wooden legs also helps balance out the traditional design.

This balance between traditional and modern means the footstool looks just as good in a traditional living room as it does in a modern one. It perfectly complements other modern or contemporary pieces of furniture like a console table, a sofa or coffee table.

2. Multifunctional Footstool

One of the best features of the Living and Home Breckin wood footstool is its versatility. It’s designed primarily as a footstool, you can use it for much more than that.

It also works great as an ottoman when you need extra sitting space. Don’t worry, it’s sturdy enough to sit on.

You can also use it as a dressing stool in your bedroom or even a bedside table, particularly if you have a low bed.

Back to the living room, the Living and Home footstool can also work as a small coffee table or a side table. And if you want to use it decoratively, you can position it under a glass coffee table or a console table and place some books or magazines on it.

The traditional design of the footstool is what makes it so versatile, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

3. Sturdy Construction

The Living and Home footstool is not just stylish, it’s also sturdy. The X shape of the legs is more than an aesthetic choice. It adds stability to the stool. Horizontal bars connecting the legs make the stool sturdy enough to be used as a chair.

How Easy Is It to Assemble?

The Living and Home Breckin wood footstool requires some assembly, but it’s easy and only takes a few minutes. You can assemble it yourself without having to get a professional.
