Requirements

Body. 1 Roach-food Box (about 5 in. deep, 10 in. square). Top. 1 Piece 3/4 in. thick, square 2 in. greater than the box. Legs. 4 Pieces 3/8 in. thick, 13/8 in. wide, 61/2 in. long. 4 Pieces 3/8 in. thick, 13/4 in. wide, 61/2 in. long.

Construction

Make the legs 61/2 inches long and round off the corners of one end of each leg, otherwise the constant moving about of the stool will have a tendency to split off the sharp corners.

Remove the cover. Turn the box upside down and nail a leg on each corner and clinch the nails on the inside.

Invert the box, set it upon the legs, and place the false top on it, allowing an even projection on each side, and nail it securely near the edges.

Note 1. The stool by the bedside in the Nursery Interior is an inverted box on legs similar to the footstool, the legs being longer and the box of less depth than the footstool.

Note 2. The stools in the Club-room Interior are made the same, with supports at the base.
