Cosco 11-120CCB1 Retro Chair/Step Stool, Black Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Just what we needed
Comment: I really like this chair. I was looking for an extra chair for the table as well as a step stool for the kitchen. Like another reviewer said, it's not as good as the old ones, but what is these days?

My only complaint is that my children were able to make a hole in the vinyl in about four days. I blame that on the fact that they're all boys and they are rough on everything.

Very satisfied with the purchase.

Summary: Nostalgic appeal but not built like the original
Comment: 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.

Summary: Just like my old 1954 model
Comment: This wonderful Cosco stool seems just like the 1954 model that I had many years ago - maybe with some modern cost-cutting changes, but it looks the same, and will serve my purpose very nicely - and I was surprised how much chrome it has - and the price is phenomenal - I found them on the Internet for as much as $79.95, and more of them at $49.95, so this one for $39.95 was a real steal of a deal.

Thank you, Amazon, for listing such a marvelous
variety of things. My only complaint with you is your canned or packaged foods are very poorly packed, almost every time the boxes are partially crushed or broken and a couple of times the shipper service (UPS) had taped them up so the merchandise wouldn't fall out.

Summary: Wonderful
Comment: I have been wanting one of these for years - it reminds me of my Grandma's from when I was a little girl. My children gave this to me for Mother's day so I would not have to keep lugging the larger step ladder out to get to my higher kitchen shelves. It was easy to assemble, great looking in my kitchen, wonderful memories both of the past and now of the present, and is very easy to use. Not to mention it gives me an extra seat for when people want to help me cook. I love it and would highly recommend it to others.

Summary: I've been ripped off!!
Comment: I bought this chair with considerable excitement. When I unpacked it, it was immediately obvious that it was but a fraction of the weight, sturdiness, and quality of the original. (We had one of these in my home as a kid in the 60's).

I assembled it hoping that though it was not as sturdy or durable that it would work well enough.

Assembly was easy enough, but...when I sat in it and then leaned back on the back rest the bottom struts ripped loose. So, I disassembled and reassembled the chair; tried it again, and...same thing. I absolutely assembled it correctly. The problem is an engineering and design problem.

Not only is this chair cheap and flimsy but it is DANGEROUS!!!

For the record: I only weigh 180 lbs. I'll not let anyone in my family sit on this stool. It goes back to Cosco or to the dump tomorrow.

In summary, this is the worse consumer product I've bought in years. This stool would be a rip off at $5.
