I could have sworn this project was inspired by a stool I saw on here but I just spent way too long trying to find it.  I wanted these to match our bed frame, which is really tall combined with our mattress.  We needed stools that could be comfortably stood on with two feet, but could also slide under the bed when not in use.  This was my first "finished" DIY project besides a dog house I made from plans from Lowe's.  This was the first time I planned it and created it myself.  They are very sturdy and look like they came with the set.  I am very happy with them. I took my time on them because I was doing a lot of learning and wanted to get it right.  I distressed the wood with chisels, files and carving knives.
