This is exactly what it says.  A small 8-inch high footstool with a 12-inch square wood top is SO practical for the house or the garden.  This one has a finished oak top, and painted Wedgwood green, legs.  The stool is the perfect height for kids to climb up to reach the bathroom basin, for help reaching the top kitchen cabinet shelves, for climbing in or out of a trailer or SUV, for gardening, for displaying things in a child's bedroom, or climbing into the bed.  Light weight, portable, and useful as all get-out.  Everyone needs one of these.
