When you finally splurge on a custom-made footstool, you will soon discover that it is much more than just a spot to put your feet up. It is a coffee table, a footrest, and a decorative piece all in one. But the trick to pulling off this multi-functional masterpiece is to find a tray that goes on top of it just right. Pick one that is too small, and it will look like it is drowning on the footstool; pick one that is too large, and you will sacrifice the very comfort that you purchased the footstool for in the first place.
