Some reviews say wing nut screws others phillips head, sturdy legs others flimsy junk, easy assemble or hollow plastic breaks. What to believe?

I have 2 of these stools mine has has wing nut screws, the legs are height adjustable aluminum and definitely not flimsy. It is very easy to assemble and the seat is hollow but sturdy. I've had my for almost a year and had no problem with plastic seat breaking. It does have a 250 lb. weight limit, hope this helps.

This is a great tub stool. It was easily assembled with wing nuts. It has sturdy legs. Good price and fits in my somewhat narrow bathtub. The one we had buckled and we needed one quickly. Amazon came through and got this one here in great time.. No regrets on this purchase.

Mine came with wing nuts, was easy to put together. It's been in use over a year now with no issues. The legs are adjustable vertically so there is a little play, which would make it seem 'flimsy', but it's not.

Mine has screws with wing heads. Neither my wife no I is a fleaweight, and we both find it very sturdy. The legs seem very strong, but we do not have them extended very high - only 2 or 3 inches out of a possible 8 inches or so (I don't remember how high it will go.) The seat is hollow plastic, but there is molded with internal plastic pillars so that it doesn't give when you are sitting on it. Would definitely buy it again if for some reason we need another one. We've had this one nearly two years of intermittent use and it is showing no signs of wear or deterioration.

I have Parkinson's and have been using this stool for many months without problems. I do, however, wipe it dry after each use. I am73 and weigh 165 lbs. I have not experienced any of the above problems and would definitely buy this stool again.

I am a mechanic. I bought this chair for my 83 year old mother. There is no way I would allow her to use this if it were inferior in any way. Mine had wing nuts,went together in about 2 minutes and I'm not sure how you could even break the plastic seat.

it would be o.k. I am over 200lbs and have used it many times- the wing nut must be replaced by a real nut as it is weak and will snap- I have had to use some duct tape to help keep it from wiggling a bit but it has never slipped or come loose while I was working on it

Does it really matter how heavy they are if they are so poorly miss alined in order to assemble them that it will never matter?? This is a LEMON get rid of it! Maybe 90 yr olds will not sue Amazon for ending up flat on their backs and ending their glorious lives! LM

Thanks for asking. Most of the Wizard-type products being offered have weak plastic hinge joints which is the cause of many hinge breaks and renders the unit useless. Two years ago we made expensive investments in upgrading our Wizard hinge joints with a plastic material that is steel-like and much less susceptible to the breakage that other Wizard-like product are. Plus we have a one year repair-or-replace warranty and a lifetime warranty on parts. No other seller can make that support claim and mean it. See our reviews for proof. Thank you for your interest.

My answer verifies the others - both. Using the screws is best although a little more time consuming.

The legs are easy to screw in place. However, the quality of the threads is the screw holes isn't great, so you'll probably have to re-tighten them from time to time.

Very easy to put together. You would need a screwdriver and pliers. Some are wing nuts so they don't need any tools. Legs adjust up and down no tools needed for that.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

white waste basket; sliding system that sits on the floor; various screws; instructions/template; couple of bag retainers: Note!! My kit included round head screws. Because of this the gliding system will be hampered. Instead I had to purchase FLAT HEAD SCREWS of the same dimension that would allow the gliding system to pass over without interference. The company should have known better to include the round head screws instead of FLAT HEAD SCREWS. No excuse.

The popular answer seems to be 'not for me' - (it really is a pretty simple item) I always assemble whatever I buy. I know the nuts are tight, things don't leak etc...You understand the way it works and that helps down the road. Take your time - have enough space and lay out everything. Have a good set of tools (not many) and enjoy it. Then reward yourself with a great steak tonight

Regular phillips...I had alot of issues with this piece. Actually returned and bought another sauder ironically from walmart that was twice as sturdy an easy to assembly.

what screw? I didn't use or need one. the legs use the hex head bolts. that is used with the allen wrench that is enclosed.

Nope! Even the wings, which have been fragile in my opinion on earlier gunpla, are made up of some pretty sturdy plastic!

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. ☺��

I have not had any trouble with the case cleaner vibrating around. If you would like to mount it to your work bench, I would get longer screws and drill through the rubber grouments. On the wingnut you can go to a hardware store and see if the have a replacement wing nut that have larger wings or something round like a knob with threads in the middle.

Mine has no wing nuts on the legs, the simply fold out and extend via screws on each of the two sections of legs. At the pivot point on the easel it seems the legs are attached with Allen screws, and maybe be tightened or loosened via an Allen wrench....

It is a wing nut, which on mine has stayed tight, does well. The pole is long, but I have put a slight bow in the aluminum pole, which has not effected the operation and storage. My previous pole (old) was fiberglass and that was never and issue. Blade is holding a great edge and they send 2, I have yet to use the back up after 6 months of weekend type use.
