Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cosco 11-120CBY1 Retro Chair/Step Stool Yellow
Customer Review: Retro step stool chair
Summary: 3 Stars
Assembly was no problem, but did reveal why weight is limited. I can rig up some reinforcements, but some folks won't have the know how to do so. Great for little kid use, not so great for 'typical' adult use. I wouldn't use it in some cases as I did our chair/stool in years past. A handy piece of furniture to have, but not quite the structural 'rock' that I was led to believe in the ads. I don't quite regret purchasing it.Customer Review: This took "some assembly required" to new levels.
Summary: 3 Stars
We just re-did our kitchen and I've wanted one of these stools since before we started the re-do. I was happy the day it arrived and I started assembling it. I made it to step 3 (attaching front U brace to legs) and realized that the holes were mis-aligned. Okay.... So I was able to use a dremel tool to expand the hole a little and it fit. Onward... I got to the step 'attaching bottom step to legs" and found that they had neglected to drill ALL of the necessary holes. Luckily we have drill bits that drill through metal, so I drilled the two holes needed. After many stops & starts, it's together and seems fine and is what I wanted. However, I would not recommend buying it to anyone. Maybe try to find an original one that was well made.Customer Review: Too small for average adult
Summary: 3 Stars
I need a step stool to reach the upper kitchen cabinet shelves. Combining the step stool with a chair is a great concept. But the chair is so small even I find it uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend this chair for an "average" adult. Perhaps the product should be named as Retro Yellow Chair with Step Stool for Kids.
The chair serves the purpose as a step stool. But the small chair is disappointing. There is a market for a step stool chair that is comfortable and stylish. This product can be great with a redesign to accommodate average adults so the chair can be used as it is intended.
Customer Review: Very retro - assembly was not pleasant
Summary: 3 Stars
The Retro Step stool is functional and really looks like the one from years ago - very cool if you like retro. The yellow is truly a very pale yellow.
The only negative thing about this product was the assembly of the yellow horizontal bars that go on the bottom of the legs. They were not shaped properly and kept coming off. We had to use A LOT of muscle to get the screw tight enough to hold it in place - and that extra force caused us to crack the paint that was on the bars :-(.
I would have sent it back but my husband insisted he could "make it work" and get it together.
Customer Review: Very retro and useful
Summary: 5 Stars
The assembly went pretty smoothly, instructions were good. This will be a very useful step stool/chair in the master bedroom closet with a very high ceiling. I can now utilize the top shelf in the closet. May be a little too lightweight for my husband. I also purchased one for my girlfriend's birthday. She too appreciates all things retro.
