Finding furniture pieces that have surface space for storage and that will fit in a dorm’s limited square footage is a definite challenge. 

But I’ve got the perfect seasonal solution: This fall, add a stool to your room — and embrace the cute ghost trend — with the viral ghost stool from Marshalls that’s receiving so much love on TikTok. 

TikToker @shelly_shops spotted the adorable ghost stool in a video that has more than 142,000 views. One TikToker commented, “Aww I need him!! He would be out year-round 👻”. 

Others shared their creative ideas for ghost stool hacks in the comment section. “I’ll take 2 and paint a bow on one,” one person included in their comment. “You could totally give him a witch hat if you don’t wanna use him for conventional purposes,” wrote another. And yet another TikToker said, “The cutest little plant stand 😍”

User @shelly_shops shared the ghost stool’s price in the comments, as well, letting another TikToker know it was listed for $59.99.

And @bynataliavibes also posted a TikTok of the viral find. In that video, the ghost stool gets a fun ride in a cart, while a wide array of cozy autumnal throw blankets can be spotted in the background. 

Although the stool is not available to buy online at the moment (bummer!), T.J. Maxx has this pumpkin velvet pouf that not only would look so cute in a dorm, but would also double as a soft and comfy seat. And an Etsy seller is offering this ghost step stool option for only $12.60, if you’re looking for something adorable with a lower price tag.
