Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11120RED1 Retro Chair/Step Stool, RedCustomer Review: Good chair for kids...sort of. Summary: 4 Stars
I got a couple of these chairs (red and yellow) over two years ago to use in our kitchen. They are good because they have a small footprint and fit in a tight kitchen. I think they are uncomfortable to sit on, but I doubt you could make it any more comfortable and keep the dimensions acceptable and my kids (2 and 4 when we first got the chairs) love them.
I don't think the quality is all that unacceptable considering the price, you just don't get great stuff for <$100 any more. There have been kids beating the crud out of ours for over two years and I've never had any trouble with them breaking. They say the steps come out of their tracks but we've never had that happen, they say the chair is mostly plastic and cheap but the only plastic I can find is the step unit tracks (they are pretty solid thick chunks of plastic) and they both have metal arms outside of them to also brace the taller legs. Other than the steps being useless for anyone over 3 feet tall they are fine. We got one assembled and one we had to assemble, I didn't think it was too hard to put together and as long as you use the right tools and follow the instructions you'll be okay.
The bad part of the chairs is that they are narrow and tall making them quite unstable. The kids managed to tip them over backwards more than once in the first few months they used them. I'm probably the worst dad ever not to toss them out right then but they never got more than a bruise and they manage to hurt themselves with everthing once or twice...lol. They figured out what not to do on the chairs and no one has tipped over for the last year and half at least. Also, the black rubber/plastic 'stuff' on the steps has deep ridges in it (for traction I guess), these are really hard to clean if the kids spill something down there (especially when they don't tell you and it gets crusty!!!). Those are my biggest two gripes about the chair.
