What is a small stool called?
A small stool is often called a footstool. The name comes from the fact that these low stools can be used as a footrest and also provide seating. More decorative small stools may be referred to as accent stools because they serve as stylish accent pieces in rooms. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of stools.
