About Vale Footstools
The story behind the UK’s favorite footstool makers
It all started with a simple question: “Where can I get a really good footstool?”
As experienced upholsterers and furniture makers, we kept hearing this from our clients. They’d finished their beautiful room makeovers but couldn’t find that perfect finishing touch – a quality footstool that matched their style and standards.
So we thought, “Why not us?” After all, we already knew quality craftsmanship inside and out. We understood what makes furniture last, what makes it comfortable, and most importantly, what makes it feel like home.
That was over 20 years ago, and we’ve been perfecting the art of foot-resting ever since!
Perfect for what I needed it for, sturdy & great quality. Adds a bit of luxury to a sitting room.
They are really nicely made & the perfect height to put your feet on. I had previously purchased many lesser ones that quickly became worn out, but these are wonderful, sturdy foot stools with firm padding. I ordered two of them and wasn’t disappointed. Came on time and in good condition; extremely satisfied.
Two or three days after ordering, the footstool was delivered. It has substantial legs and thick cushioning on top, which suggests good construction. I mostly got it to make it easier for my dog to climb on to our new, tall sofa, but I’ve also been using it myself as a footrest. It is well suited for our sofa and feels comfortable. Very pleased with this purchase.
