It's exactly what I thought it would be. I have an older version of this stool type of chair (which is a little heavier and a little sturdier), but I still think this chair is great. My 22 month old loves using it (only under adult supervision).

My grandmother purchased a cosco stool years ago when my cousins and I were all growing up. It had steps and a padded seat for us to more easily reach the table. Now that her first great-grandchild has arrived she wanted a new cosco stool. It was not easy to find, but Im glad I did! The stool looks great, feels great and is the same cosco quality she remembered.

Red stool in kitchen to reach high-up items, and sitting for tasks like peeling apples. Black stool in utility room for sewing and ironing tasks, as well as reaching high-up stored items. It is similar to one a favorite auntie had for many years in her kitchen. I couldn't locate it in stores,[...]. Love it!!!

BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY
By Picky MomVerified Purchaser from Menomonie,Wisconsin on 5/26/2008
Pros:
Falls apart when moved
Cons:
Falls apart when moved

To collect dust

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this for my son to use instead of putting a booster on the chair, but this is not even usable every time you move the chair the steps fall off the track and get stuck. I would return this if the box hadn't gotten taken to the dump so guess this is where this will end up.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY (use it for gas instead)

I needed an extra chair for rare use in my utility room AND a step stool - this works for that. Just wish it had been as well made as my Mother's.

 
Nice retro look, lacks retro stability
By Wendy the gardenerVerified Purchaser from Portland, OR on 5/15/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Cheap stool mechanism, Step stool very shallow
Best Uses:
Chair and stool in one, Extra Seating
Describe Yourself:
Practical, Stylish
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This stool looks like the one my grandma had in her kitchen when I was a child, it was always handy. This version 30 years later is much less sturdy and has a step stool that slides out less than smoothly. The steps are also a little shallow for using them to get into those tall cupboards. The look is great and if I weren't expecting something more heavy duty, I would love this chair. As is, I like the chair and it is a help in the kitchen- and makes it look snazzy.

 
Not as great as it seems
By JacinthVerified Purchaser from Pembroke, Ma on 5/6/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design
Cons:
Small, Step stool unstable, Unstable
Best Uses:
Purchased for child
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Practical, Stylish
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was a bit upset that the step stool did not have a clip or latch or some type of component that would hold it into place so it would not slide back under the chair. I purchased for my small child to be able to get up herself and the stool slides as she tries to step on it.
