plans were horrible, didn't give dimensions of actual drawings or pointers on how to set up cuts so that other boards would match up. Also never gave actual amount of wood that was required for the job. Don't buy, I'm trying to get my money back

You can make this classic Library Chair with a minimum of woodworking skills. Most cuts are straight but a few are curved to be done with a jig saw or band saw. (1) Lay template on wood of your choice (2)draw and cut out shapes. (3) Sand and varnish (4) assemble with electric drill and screw driver. Very attractive and extremely practical. These are plans & templates only.

Cosco 11-302WBL Big Step Two-Step Steel Step Stool White Review

Cosco 11-302WBL Big Step Two-Step Steel Step Stool White
Average Reviews:

I've had this big step two-stool for over 10 years. Recently, I gave it to my elderly father because it is very lightweight and wouldn't strain him carrying it up and down stairs and around the house. I thought I could easily replace it with any 'ol stool. Boy was I wrong. I never knew how good I had it with this stool until I had to replace it.
Mostly every step stool I've looked at has all of the following problems:
1. Too heavy. Most stools I've seen are heavyduty--"heavy" being the operative word. While these stools are a bit sturdier and steadier, you pay the price with their added weight. I live in a one-floor apartment and didn't think the extra weight would be a big deal. It soon became an issue as I discovered I was no longer able to put it up and retrieve it from the narrow nook where I stored it without great effort. Thus, I ended up leaning it against a wall rather than putting it away.
2. Steps aren't wide enough to safely transverse. The bottom step typically does not stick out far enough to easily step down onto it. Rather than naturally stepping down, I had to look down to find the step first. (Clearly, no one actually tests these steps before they approve the design.)
3. Top step isn't high enough to effectively use the stool to reach high areas. A three-step stool is much more than I need. A one-step stool is too low. A two-step stool is just right, assuming the second step is high enough. I noticed other stools have the top step a couple of inches lower than this stool.
I bought a stool from Home Depot and lasted about a month before I returned it. I hated it. It had all of the above problems. Much to my joy, Cosco still makes the model I had. $28 is a bit pricey as compared to others, but if I cannot find it cheaper anywhere else, I'll have to suck it up and pay it. No other stool will do.

This step stool is not perfect, but it strikes the best balance I could find in the trade-off between adequate sturdiness versus ease of carrying and setup. The construction is relatively lightweight (only rated for 200#). I found the stool easier to carry from room to room and easier to open and close than other models I checked out at the hardware store. Great for changing light bulbs and other quick tasks.

This Step ladder was purchased as a time saver to use with another one I already owned. By putting a staging plank across two steps (bottom or middle-NOT top) I could work on an eight foot ceiling easily without a lot of up/down agravation. This step ladder is very well made, I feel very comfortable using it and highly recommend it, especially in pairs with a plank. It will definitely increase productivity.

I have a step ladder...too big for inside. Single-step stool....too small for many jobs. This two-step is just perfect. Not too heavy, locks into place, and I can lean forward on it and feel secure. The sticker that was mentioned in one of the reviews as troublesome came right off. All in all...I would buy it again.

A small stool is a must for the "vertically challenged" amongst us... This stool does the job and I feel rather safe when I climb its steps to put away something on the top shelves. It is, however, a bit flimsy and some of its plastic parts broke down after the first use. But it still works without them so I am not to worried about it.

Cosco 11120RED1 Retro Chair/Step Stool, Red Review

Cosco 11120RED1 Retro Chair/Step Stool, Red

I bought the yellow version of this step stool - my grandma used to have one just like it, or so I thought. This is not the step stool I was hoping for. It's clunkier, cheaper, and not the same "shiny" vinyl that my grandma had. The step stool mechanism on this new one is just cheap plastic that allows the steps to "slide" in and out. I had a little bit of trouble putting it together. Oh, and on the instructions, you're told that you'll have to periodically retighten the bolts! What - is this thing going to come apart with use?!?! Overall, a disappointment and not worth the amount of money I paid for it. Nice idea, but I want the REAL thing, not some cheap imitation.

Funky retro furniture doesn't always serve a purpose, but this chair sure does. Not only can it give you a comfy perch by the bar, it also can be used a step stool.

Cosco 11-135CLGG4 Folding Step Stool, 2-Step, Cool Gray Review

Cosco 11-135CLGG4 Folding Step Stool, 2-Step, Cool Gray
Average Reviews:

This item is described as "Meets ANSI Standard s for Type II Medium Household Rating"; however the label attached to the product clearly states Type III. Type II is a "medium" rating, Type III is a "light" rating. The stool was lower than expected and I've since seen it offered for sale at Home Depot for $10 less (not marked "Cosco" brand but obviously the same product). The stools at Home Depot were also marked Type III. I returned the stool to Amazon because of the incorrect description. I was impressed by the ease of returning the stool; Amazon arranged for UPS to pick up the package from my house at their expense. I'm not impressed that Amazon still hasn't corrected their product description.
I have since purchased an aluminum stool from Home Depot for under $20 which is rated Type II, is several inches higher than this item, and is much easier to carry around because of its light weight.

I bought this for my 80 year-old mother, so she could sit while she does kitchen chores.
The stool is light-weight enough for her to move and provides a comfortable seat.
There are two drawbacks: the step part of the stool doesn't come out quite far enough, giving the feeling of instability. Also, I assumed the entire unit folded for storage, but this is not the case. Only the steps fold in.
Both of the above are minor drawbacks and I would recomend this item to anyone.
