Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11-120CBB1 Retro Chair and Stool Black and Chrome
Customer Review: Retro Chair/Step Stool not quite what we expected.
Summary: 2 Stars
Our first shock was the price of shipping! The next came when we discovered a box full of loose parts and two kinds of bolts or screws. Instructions weren't clear about which screw or bolt to use and we stripped the threads with the first couple holes we tried to fill. It took us about 2 hours to assemble, though now that we've done it once we could repeat the task in about 15 minutes. The last surprise came when we put the chair on the kitchen floor. It's feet slid on the linoleum like the floor was ice. We have to put a throw rug or something under the feet to prevent them from sliding or someone is going to break their neck! The chair itself isn't bad looking, but isn't as useful as we'd hoped.Customer Review: Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To
Summary: 3 Stars
The item meets our expectations, and thus rates 3 stars. However, our expectations are normally that something emulating the past is not going to be as well executed in current times. Apparently our poplulation doesn't support the same level of quality available as back when people where willing to pay for truly durable goods and capable labor had not yet priced itself above market value. Plastic vs. metal (cost reduction) and slides vs. linkages (safety threat or cost reduction?) are manifestations of the compromises. But it does look like the predecessor, if you squint. We were replacing a worn out classic, and were pleased that Amazon made this item available. Doubt you will do better.Customer Review: Cosco Quality Questionable
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this as a gift for my mother..unfortunately, never was able to give it to her. When my husband attempted to assemble it, he found the hole on one leg was stripped out. He callead customer service (on hold for 30 mins) and described the problem. They promised to replace the defective leg....but,never did. A month after waiting for the part, he sent an email to their customer service address with detailed info regarding the defective part...after 3 weeks still no word or replacement. Amazon is sending return label...will be glad to have the parts and box out of my living room!!
Cosco you can do better than this!
Customer Review: Handy Kitchen Chair/Stool
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Easy to put together. Solidly built. Serves a duel purpose as chair and step stool. Looks nice in kitchen.
Cons: Not for a large person to sit on - the seat is small. Step stool part does not tilt out (like the older ones did), but slides out making it difficult to move the chair without hitting your shins. The "stupid ugly" warning label telling you not to stand on padded seat is right on front of seat frame and is difficult to remove.
Overall: We are pleased with it. We rate it a 5 star because there is nothing else in the marketplace we could find to serve the purpose it does.
Customer Review: Nostalgic appeal but not built like the original
Summary: 3 Stars
The looks are great but the step stool portion does not lift and slide like the original models of this chair/step stool that I remember. The steps seem smaller to me, also. The system to pull the steps out has been redesigned/updated. It is a little clummsy, with the steps sliding out and back locked in a plastic track on each side with the steps able to wiggle side to side some. Perhaps if moved daily/frequently it would not hold up. All in all, I would still buy this chair again. I like that I have a useable charming kitchen chair with the option to use as an occasional step stool.
