Standard or Premier Footstool Frame?
The Standard and Premier stools provide two different frame sizes.
Standard Footstool Frame

- A compact 460mm × 300mm frame is required
- A smaller upholstered top is preferred

Premier Footstool Frame
For a larger stool in the same dark finish, see the Mahogany Premier Stool 500mm × 335mm.
The Premier version has a larger 500mm × 335mm frame, making it suitable where a more substantial upholstered footstool is required.
Mahogany, Cream or Raw Standard Footstool?
The Standard frame is available in different finishes to suit the upholstery project.
Mahogany Standard Stool
The Mahogany Standard Stool provides a ready-finished dark wood appearance suited to traditional furniture and interiors.
Cream Standard Stool
The Cream Standard Stool 460mm × 300mm provides the same compact Standard frame size with a lighter cream finish.
Raw Standard Stool
The Raw Standard Stool 460mm × 300mm is supplied unfinished for staining, painting or finishing to suit the furniture project.
Supplied with 3″ Upholstery Foam
A 3″ foam pad is included with the frame, providing the main cushioning layer for the upholstered top.
Additional materials may include:
- Polyester wadding
- Upholstery fabric or vinyl
- Base cloth
- Upholstery staples
- Spray adhesive
- Decorative trim or piping
Browse Polyester Wadding for fibre wrap that can be fitted over the foam to soften the edges and create a fuller upholstered profile.

Adding Polyester Wadding
Polyester wadding can be fitted over the supplied foam before the final upholstery covering is applied.
It can help:
- Soften the foam edges
- Create a fuller upholstered appearance
- Reduce hard lines beneath the fabric
- Improve the transition around corners and edges
- Produce a smoother finished profile
For a practical upholstery option, see 27″ Wide 135g (4½oz) Fibre Cushion Wrap.
Upholstering the Standard Footstool
The ready-made frame and supplied foam provide the basis for creating a finished upholstered footstool.
A typical upholstery process may include:
- Assemble and check the wooden frame.
- Position the supplied foam.
- Add polyester wadding where required.
- Measure and cut the upholstery covering.
- Position the fabric evenly over the foam and frame.
- Secure the covering to the timber.
- Finish the corners neatly.
- Fit suitable base cloth underneath.

For suitable fastening materials, browse Staples & Tacks.
For specialist equipment, browse Upholstery Tools.
Finishing the Underside
Once the main upholstery work is complete, the underside of the stool can be finished with suitable furniture base cloth.
Black Dipryl / Corovin provides a neat covering beneath upholstered furniture and helps give the completed stool a clean professional finish.
Suitable upholstery staples can be used to secure fabric, wadding and base cloth to the timber frame.
71/10 Staples are available for use with compatible 71 Series upholstery staple guns.
Where required, Livedale Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive 500ml can be used for suitable foam and wadding applications.
Choosing Upholstery Fabric for a Mahogany Frame
The mahogany finish works particularly well where the wooden frame remains visible beneath the upholstered top.
When choosing the covering, consider:
- Fabric colour and pattern
- Furniture style
- Intended use
- Abrasion resistance
- Cleaning requirements
- Fabric thickness
- Whether piping or decorative trim will be added
- How the fabric complements the darker timber
Browse Vinyl & Fabric for upholstery covering options.
Standard Stool or Queen Anne Footstool?
For a more decorative traditional leg style, consider the Raw Queen Anne Footstool 460mm × 300mm.
Both have a 460mm × 300mm frame, but the Queen Anne version uses shaped traditional legs that form a more prominent part of the finished furniture.
Choose the Mahogany Standard frame where a simple dark-finished stool frame is preferred.
Choose the Queen Anne version where the shaped wooden legs are an important part of the finished design.
