Placing items on stools?

[Cosmic-chan]

Is it me or is placing items on stools kinda..weird?

If you think it's weird, then don't do it. I put stuff on chairs and stools IRL all the time, so I don't think it's that weird to have it as an option in ACNH.

I think it depends on the item and the stool. It also makes it look more lived in, I think.

I suppose it depends what look you are trying to achieve.

I use the stone stool and log stool as display bases for fossils/models etc, and I think they work perfectly for that role.

I would not use a chair as display base however as it would look strange.
However I may place a magazine or book on a chair in my house as that would look like a natural placement

I love the stools for item placement. I've also used log benches as "tables" for displaying items. However, be warned you cannot display tools on stools. I had a temple set up and when I tried to place the golden wand it didn't work, so I had to switch to wooden mini tables.

I mean they can be neat item holders. It gives a bit more customization options too if you just want a small 1x1 item that won't take up too much space. In my market place I put some items on stools like wallpaper, flower petals, books

I put plants and other knick knacks on stools in real life so it's not weird to me. I thought this was common?

I like it because it means some of the stools can be used as like low end tables or pedestals for stuff and a lot of them work for that purpose. For instance I have stone stools outside my museum with amber sitting on them, very nice

I guess I didn't realize it was a common trend,, And I just remembered I did place a candle on a log stool because I couldn't find a table-

Apparently not, because I've never put stuff on stools irl lol. I've always seen/used them exclusively as chairs. But now that NH has introduced that concept to me, I think it's quite a resourceful way to use furniture! Might consider doing that when I get older and get a place of my own lol

I use stools as mini tables so definitely not weird to me. I use them all the time to place stacks or books or candles :3

I find it weirder how you can place items on cushions lol

 

[Rubombee]

OOOH I was not aware you could place stuff on more than just the stools?? :0 That's amazing! I love all the designs options it gives! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a new thing from this opus too? One thing's sure, I loved it when I discovered it :D

But can you really place stuff on everything you can sit on? Like, all the chairs/benches/etc.? If yes,,,

 

[Fey]

I mean the table/surface choices are really limited in NH, so there aren’t many other options.

Personally, I think the log and stone stools work just fine. Once you get over it being called a “stool”, it isn’t visually any different from a mini table or nightstand. Nothing weird about it imo.

No, I don’t think it’s weird to place stuff on stools because most of them look like small tables. I probably wouldn’t place things on the upholstered ones though unless it was just the perfect choice.

Edit: also, why do so many people sound afraid of being “weird”?

 

[Romaki]

Not really, that's something we do in our household anyway. Usually it's small but wide plants or just something decorative.

You dare assume a cat girl like myself is afraid of being "weird"? My boyfriend calls me strange all the time and thinks my strangeness is cute-

 

[greenvoldemort]

I dont think its weird at all?? i know for a fact many people place items on stools in real life, it just makes the feature in the game more life like?!

 

[Alicia]

I don't think it's weird, I use them as mini tables sometimes.

 

[dino]

honestly, because of the lack of actual tables in NH, it seems NECESSARY to have the stools function as tables lolllll.

I don’t have any decent 1x1 tables, so when I was redoing my bedroom and needed some nightstands, I went with... piano benches. I definitely place things on chairs in real life, but it’s more for temporary storage than anything else.
