Default We made footstools!

We, my DH and I are very proud of ourselves for designing and making footstools that fit onto our dining room chairs. I did the measuring, sanding and staining and DH took care of the rest. We decided we needed some after reading that having feet supported while sitting will help support good posture and we were sick of the phone book stack we had under the table. The aim was to have something the rellies wouldn't laugh at. What do you think??
P.S. Don't you just love rented house kitchen carpet?

Thank-you guys. Lucky, you can't see the big stain drips on the undersides of the wood.
