Hall Tree!
A Hall Tree is a piece of furniture, usually found in hallways or near the
entryway of homes, on which people hang items such as hats, coats, or other
clothing. They often have mirrors and drawers to store personal items such as
wallets, sunglasses, money, etc. Many incorporate a bench to sit upon while
putting on or taking off footware. The bench seat is often hinged with a storage
space underneath often used for shoes, hats and gloves. Most Hall Trees are made
of wood. In Victorian times some of the better quality hall trees were made of
walnut or oak.
Footstools for comfort
This type of footstool is used to provide comfort to a person seated, for
example, in a chair or sofa. It is typically a short, wide, four-legged stool
with a padded top, upholstered in a fabric or animal hide such as leather. This
type of footstool is also a type of Ottoman and it often referred to simply as
an Ottoman. It allows the seated person to rest their feet upon it, supporting
their legs at a mostly horizontal level, thus giving rise to use of the term
footrest, for this item.
Footstools for function
This type of footstool, also known simply as a stool, is used as a short
stepladder or to support a person's (usually a child's) feet that do not reach
the floor when seated. In the former case, the footstool is used by placing it
on a flat surface and standing on it to extend one's reach. In the latter case,
the footstool is placed under the feet of a sitting person so that the person's
feet may rest comfortably on it. An example of the latter is the type of piano
footstool used in conjunction with a piano bench
