Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11-18WHT Retro Chair/Step Stool, White
Customer Review: My old kitchen step stool replaced at last.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first started looking for a step stool like the one I had in the 60s, nobody, included Amazon, stocked this. Then One morning, I decided to buy another model, and there was the thing I've been looking for. In stock, at last. From memory, this isn't quite as strong, and the seat seems smaller, bur it gets me to the top of my kitchen cabinets, and enables me to sit to prepare food, when I'm tired, and it's lightweight to move around. It's a multi-purpose piece of furniture which really functions for both its purposes, and I like that.
I will add that I am not a large person. If I weighed 200lbs, I would not buy this.
Customer Review: 2nd one
Summary: 4 Stars
The 1st one was for my mother & she would not do without it.
The 2nd one is for her friend that saw my mother's & then wanted one.
The 1st came assembled from a different source. The second one, from Amazon, I had to assemble the back rest to the frame. It would have gone very smoothly had I known the hardware was metric not English. My 3/8 socket fit on a couple of the nuts but not on others. You need a 10mm socket or wrench & a good #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Be sure to mind which end of the box to open 1st. It's marked. If you use a box cutter on the wrong end, you will slit the seat.
Shipment was fast.
Customer Review: too small
Summary: 3 Stars
I owned a Cosco stool previous to this one which I had for many, many years. So when I was ready to purchase a new one I returned to the Cosco brand expecting to receive the same quality product I had in the past. My main disappointment is that the chair it so small it would be hard for a normal sized adult to sit on and be comfortable. Also mine arrived with a small rip in the vinyl on the seat at one of the corners. I wish they had not sacrificed size and quality for price since the older products lasted 20 years or longer.Customer Review: A good dual-purpose stool
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my 80 year-old mother, so she could sit while she does kitchen chores.
The stool is light-weight enough for her to move and provides a comfortable seat.
There are two drawbacks: the step part of the stool doesn't come out quite far enough, giving the feeling of instability. Also, I assumed the entire unit folded for storage, but this is not the case. Only the steps fold in.
Both of the above are minor drawbacks and I would recomend this item to anyone.
Customer Review: step stool review
Summary: 4 Stars
The step stool, a gift for my daughter, works well as a step stool. The problem was in the difficulty to attach the seat and back to the stool. The frame did not meet and had to be bent to align the screws. There was a hole in the box and the screws fell out, so my daughter had to request the screws before she could put it together.
