Abstract
A decorative furniture item which a user may selectively move into a first arrangement for use as a stationary chair/step stool or into a second arrangement as a rocking chair. The transformation from one use to the other use is easily accomplished by the user turning the furniture item to the desired position. The decorative furniture item symbolizes a particular theme, such as a sport, a bird, an animal and the like. In one sport theme, the furniture item resembles two footballs supporting a chair structural arrangement. In other embodiments, the arrangements relate to a sport theme for baseball, tennis or golf. In another embodiment, the arrangement has a duck appearance. Each of the various structural arrangements constitute a readily assembled kit.
