Abstract

A fancy stool having a seat supported by a pair of legs having the appearance of human legs and provided with shoes. The legs are made of lengths of wood timber with a wooden foot in the form of a platform attached to their bottom end and a spacer attached below the foot-like platform at the tip. The wood timber legs are covered with super-imposed layers of elastic fabric to provide a human leg appearance and texture. The legs are dressed with socks or stockings and shoes are passed over the feet with padding disposed between the feet and the shoe interior. Alternatively, the legs are made of plastic molding having the appearance of human legs and feet. The plastic legs preferably have a surface coating of elastomeric material to provide the consistency of human flesh.
