Nice wood. It is an attractive chair sitting in my kitchen and very handy to reach upper cabinets. I have a step ladder but I have it put away because it is ugly. Then when I need it it is inconvenient to get out and use. This chair can sit out in plain sight and is right there when I need it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Chair, Seat Assembly Should be Easier. *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2016* My chair arrived quickly and with the exception of the problems Mr. James points out in his negative review the chair is easy to assemble. Mr. James shared some valid frustrations with assembling this chair that I could have also easily experienced if his negative review had not given me a heads up and mentally prepared me to face this difficulty with the chair's assembly.If those producing these chairs took the time to pre-drill appropriately placed pilot holes in the seat bottom and mentioned in the assembly directions that a stubby philips screwdriver would be needed, they could easily prevent the frustration Mr. James experienced.When I got to step 3 in the assembly instructions which have you attach the seat to the onto the back leg assembly I placed the chair as show in the attached picture (using appropriate clamps could be useful here also), and placed all 4 of the screws into their respective holes and turned each one just enough to mark the seat bottom so I could then drill my own pilot holes. If you do this, you have to be careful that you do not drill all the way through the seat and mar its surface. This made attaching the seat much easier than trying to screw it to the backrest without any pilots holes. I have to thank Mr. James for taking the time to write his negative review for preparing me for this extra step.The chair is beautiful and suits my purposes perfectly. If it had predrilled pilot holes in the seat bottom and screws for attaching the seat bottom that worked with the supplied allen wrench (so you wouldn't need a stubby screwdriver or other solution), I probable would have given it 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Works better than I though it would have. Assembly can be tricky *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016* Assembly really is not that hard . . . except the seat. Everything uses allen head bolts (comes with the allen key) except the seat bottom. The seat bottom is where an allen key would have been most useful. As other have noted, everything really goes together easily. A 10 year old cold do it. The seat bottom has no pre-drilled holes. There is not enough room to get an 90 degree drill in there. You have to use a stubby phillips screwdriver. There is not a lot of room to get your hand & stubby screwdriver (-1 star).So I was able to turn the screws just enough to get them leave a mark. Then took the whole thing apart & used a 1/8 drill bit to pre-drill the seat bottom. Probably should have used 3/16. Was than able to screw the bottom on, but it was still a hard turn. Just how enough room to turn and not loose some knuckle skin. (-1 star for the scrapped knuckles)After it was all put together, I was pretty impressed. The chair is solid and does not rock at all. The chair itself is somewhat comfortable. There is a locking pin so you can move the chair with out it unfolding. Seems to work well enough. The ladder portion of the chair works very well. Sold feeling and no wobble. So no more climbing on t he dinning room chairs to get things off the shelf in the kitchen. A time-out chair for the grandkids when needed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15259441-folding-library-ladder-chair](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15259441-folding-library-ladder-chair) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
