Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11120RED1 Retro Chair/Step Stool, Red
Customer Review: great retro stool/chair
Summary: 5 Stars
Some reviews have said that there is a lot of plastic. I don't know where all the plastic is, b/c mine has very little. It is easy to put together, sturdy, and fits well in a corner of my small kitchen when I'm not using it. It's easy to move around, and I've never had a problem with the steps slipping and sliding when I pick it up and carry it. My grandmother has a white version of this that she's had for years, and mine seems to be just as sturdy, comfortable, and well made as her old one. As far as comfort--it's a stool, not a recliner. The cushion isn't very thick, but that's normal for these stools; that's how they've always been made. I've wanted one of these stools for years, and I'm very happy with mine.Customer Review: Not what it seems
Summary: 2 Stars
I selected this chair over the white chair/step stool, also offered through Target, because it looked sturdier. However, the parts are so poorly constructed that they do not fit together well, and there is a significant wobble to the legs. The sliding mechanism for the steps is primitive and constantly derails. I bought this stool as a perch for my 2-year old daughter to watch me work in the kitchen, but it is so unstable that I am afraid to let her climb on it.Also, while the assembly instructions are easy to follow, either the screws and/or the accompanying Allen wrench are too flimsy. I could not tighten the screws properly before the wrench was completely stripped.
Customer Review: Very Low Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
We own an original Cosco step stool from the 1950s. It is a wonderful chair. We decided we'd like to get some more to use in our kitchen, and bought ONE of these to check out the quality. Boy, am I glad we only bought one! This thing is garbage -- poorly made, low-quality. The parts clearly did not go through QC and we had to order a replacement part directly from Cosco to even be able to put it together. That part didn't fit properly either, and one of the screw holes in the leg has "let go" -- so the screw can not be tightened or untightened any more. I am taking this thing apart and returning it. I'd rather track down an original on e-Bay. Very disappointing.Customer Review: Unsafe at any size
Summary: 1 Stars
A kitchen step stool must be safe. This one is not. The top step, the one that must be used, since we are cautioned not to step on the seat, is very small and is made even smaller by the fact that it does not fully pull clear from the seat. Thus, only the toes can be put on the step. For one of normal size this is dangerous; for an elderly person it is lethal. I have requested the US Consumer Protection agency to recall this stool. Beyond this important concern, the product is cheaply made, plastic - which is never stronger than steel in such products - is used in critical areas and will never well or sufficiently support its functions.Customer Review: Did Not Like At All
Summary: 2 Stars
My Grandmother had one of these in her kitchen and I can remember all the kids fighting over who got to sit on the stool at large family gatherings. I'm really sorry that I let her's get away from us when she died. I was so excited to see this stool on Amazon and could not wait to get it. But I returned it within less than 5 minutes of taking it out of the box. First of all it is a lot smaller than you think. My daughter's wooden highchair is larger than this stool. But what really made me dislike it is the color. To call it red is very misleading. I would say it was closer to orange, which doesn't appeal to me or match my kitchen.
