Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11-120CBB1 Retro Chair and Stool Black and Chrome
Customer Review: Not as good as the original
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this because I loved the one that was in my grandmother's kitchen when I was a child. This one is pretty good. However, it's not as good as the original. The step does not pull out very far. If you have big feet you'll find it awkward to step on. The step glides along a plastic track that seems like it will be very easy to break or crack. For that reason, I don't use the bottom step.Customer Review: Not so smooth ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this chair for my 78-yr old Mom, and she loves the retro look and dual functionality. The pull-out step does NOT glide as it says in the product info. You have to lift it out, but it is still convenient. It takes up less room than we thought, so it fits great in a small kitchen. A bit pricey, but if it lasts will be worth it.Customer Review: One bolt short of 4 stars and one loose stool short of 5 stars
Summary: 3 Stars
The stool part of the chair is somewhat weak. One of the bolts holding the back of the chair has already striped out. It looks like grandmas old stool chair however it's not as strong as her's was. Then again I was probably 150lbs less when I used hers. 3 Stars for its retro look. Minus 2 stares for its durability.Customer Review: Please don't buy

It is Christmas eve and I have spent three hours to get align a support bar to this stool. Putting this stool together would be rather simple, the problem is that the holes do not align properly when it comes to the horizontal supports that allows the steps to slide/glide. There are two parts to each side for the sliding effect. On the outside are two metal 'straps' with the inside being two plastic parts that have the grove for the sliding effect. The point is to insert a screw through the black plastic slides so that they screw into the two black metal straps. The problem is that the bolts in the metal straps don't properly align with the holes in chrome legs. One fits and the other is off by two centimeters. It is just plain sloppy work. I was lucky to be able to screw one of the scraps and its plastic part together, although it looks ugly. The other side is an impossibility. The only open is actually to have someone widen the hole in the chrome leg so that it will be side enough for the bolt on the metal strap to enter and then screw it. Another option is to leave the two steps off and forget about them. However, I've decided on a third option. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my mother, who has a difficult time standing for a long period of time, such as when she cooks. My third option is that I will 'give' it to her but only as mock up, kind of an IOU. On Monday I'll start looking around for one in my area that doesn't require putting it together, or simply one of a better quality. Then, I'm going to toss this sucker out. I've done too much 'damage' to it to send it back. I tried to hammer the bolts of these straps through the holes but to no avail. I also tried to bend them so that both would go in and that didn't work.Customer Review: RETRO STOOL

This was a gift but was opened last night. It is a very neat way to have an extra seat in the kitchen and a stool for higher reaches.Great price.
