I’ve been spotting cherry decor *everywhere*. And so I definitely took a second look when I came across these adorable Five Below fuzzy stools, which come in both a cherry and strawberry print, and would make such a perfect addition to a dorm room. 

And then I saw the price: $5.55. I repeat: $5.55!

@thedecorfinder posted a video on Instagram and TikTok showing off both the cherry and strawberry versions of the stools, plus other fruit-themed finds. Included in the video is a pan of this strawberry fuzzy blanket and various planters that come in different shapes — I love the ceramic shopping bag vases and the giant strawberry. I think we should all be welcoming the incoming spring season by adding a few fruit-themed pieces to our rooms (SOS it’s so cold). 

TikTokers are loving the video — and the stools got some big shout-outs. One person commented, “Omg the little stools!! So cute 😍,” to which @thedecorfinder responded “Yesssss!!!!! They were super cute!!! 😍.” And another person wrote, “Oh my gosh the stools 😭😍 I need one! Those blankets too!”

These stools can for sure be a year-round staple in your room. They decorate your space in a playful way while providing multiple practical uses. They’re small — more footstool than ottoman, measuring 10.24 inches by 10.24 inches by 10.24 inches. But they can handle up to 300 pounds, so you could totally pull one out for extra seating that you can easily tuck away when you don’t have people over. You can also use this stool as a step to get onto a very tall dorm bed, or even as a plant stand to display a small- to medium-sized plant.

The stools are currently available in the cherry print only on FiveBelow.com, but I don’t think that will last — they’re marked as “low stock” — so you may need to run to a store to snag a stool before they’re all gone!
