Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11-120CBB1 Retro Chair and Stool Black and Chrome
Customer Review: Just like my old 1954 model
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Just what we needed
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Like grandma's
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this on a sentimental whim as it looked like an exact replica of my deceased grandma's kitchen chair. Assembly was easy until one of the last steps. It took me and my husband TWO hours to try to put ONE bolt in. (We're stubborn folk and I hate returning things!) The parts just weren't fitting together properly. Finally, my husband just used one of our own screws and assembly continued fine. I strongly recommend using the Handy Hint that is provided about greasing the footstool glide pin as I didn't do that and, while the slide technically works fine, it has a tendency to get stuck a bit.
... and yes, the chair is a good replica of my Nana's. It just looks smaller than I remember but, then again, I was only little when I used to play on her chair.
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.Customer Review: Not a quality product
Summary: 2 Stars
Assembly was fairly simple, but overall, this is not a quality product. As a way of saving costs, the slide mechanism that allows the steps to be pulled out is a slotted piece of plastic that guides two pegs on the steps. One gets the feeling that the steps will fall off if the stool is picked up.
I get nervous when my wife stands on the second step, but it works well as a seat for our 2-year-old grandchild at the dinner table.
