Some have called it tacky, weird, original or unique. These are all reasons why I love my little vintage foot stool! I had been looking for one forever, and now I finally have one. I'm not positive when this little guy was made, but they're supposedly from the mid 1950's to early 1960's. I guess they were some kind of fad or something during that time. Does anyone have any more information of these inflatable foot stools? I would love to know more about them!
