It's a foot rest or leg rest but it is really uncomfortable unless you put a pillow/pad of some kind on it.

Our librarian asked the same thing about a month ago and I showed her how it works. Your legs are cradled in the part with the dowels for a foot rest. Pretty nifty I would say.

I would never have thought it could be a foot stool. There are still plenty of oddities out there to be found it seems.

I'm also saying some kind of foot stool. Maybe you could ask the guys on "this old house"

It's a foot rest to be used when in a rocking chair. The support is only on two legs so if you rock it will rock with you.
