A footstool for use with a toilet, that includes a pair of parallel footrests that are connected at their aligned forward ends to the opposite ends of a spacer, generally forming a U-shape configuration. The U-shape configuration allows for the storage the footstool fitted to and partially around the base of a western toilet. A sidewall extends downward from the footrests and spacer leaving an open bottom end. Legs elevate the footrest from the flooring. Leg extenders may be inserted into the base of the legs to adjust the elevation of the footstool. The leg extenders may be stored in the open bottom end. The legs and leg extenders can receive a non-slip material installed to bottom ends thereof to prevent the footstool from slipping.
