What is Reddit's opinion of Cosco Retro Counter Chair/Step Stool, Sliding, Red?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Apparently, still sold. Or some version of it.

Oh gosh, you could REALLY do it up by posing on one of those keen step stool/chairs that everyone had, reaching up to put that pot away, and the fan UH OH blowing your apron up! Golly, gee whiz, however did that happen?! Wink wink.

I have a retro step stool/chair in my kitchen; something like this stool combo. I just leave it out, and I can sit during meal prep or doing dishes, as well as reach the high things.

You can still buy one

My grandmother had one, too! I loved to sit in it, so tall!

They still make these, Cost Co sells them

This one is $50

I see this one here on Amazon listing it as a "Counter Chair/Step Stool". I still like Stair Chair though.

I have one. Been using it for years. It was my grandmas.

I appreciate you saying what to search. I’d saved their comment hoping someone like you would come by because I wasn’t sure what keywords to use to search for it.

They’ve delivered the link now, so don’t worry about that, but I’d be happy to help you with link sharing if you want. It’s a useful skill that’s pretty easy once you get it. Otherwise, ignore me, I’m happy to have some general stuff up here for people scrolling by or who returned here like I did :)

I can get more specific to what your needs are, or whoever messages/comments, if you’d like. If your issue is a higher level than the basics ignore the basics questions, I just don’t want to totally skip over it if my assumptions about your issue are wrong. I’m going in detail about what I think may be what you’re experiencing but I can start at the very basics if needed. I’ll also try to keep it as descriptive as I can for someone reading at a perhaps newer level of experience than I assume you’re at, and because it’s easy to miscommunicate about something small that throws the whole thing off.

Do you know how to link on computer, but not mobile? How about copy/paste? Have you tried to comment a link on Reddit before, but the link wasn’t clickable?

I’m working on an iOS mobile assumption because it’s where I am, but I or someone with more Android/Windows phone experience could help with those mobile specifics. I assume mobile because it’d be the more common point of confusion, where we’ve mostly all been working with computers longer.

You use emojis, so I’m going to zero in first on you maybe having issues linking specifically from the Amazon app. Again specific to iOS but much of this could be universal. This one is easy once you see it. I didn’t think I knew how and wasn’t sure there was a way on the Amazon app either until I went to look.

• Amazon App: Click on the product to get to the product page. In the top right of the Product Image, there will be a symbol. The symbol is a black square with an arrow pointing up. Click on it. Press Copy. In the text box on the Reddit comment, hold down for the text editing menu. Select Paste.

You can remove the excess text, but this is entirely optional. Working with the product the original commenter here linked, the copy/paste from the iOS app gives you this: Cosco Retro Counter Chair/Step Stool, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000B35GY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_U83UCbHF2DRCR

That link is perfectly clickable on its own, but maybe you don’t like the extra text (“Cosco...Red”) for personal preference or because it interrupt the flow of what you’re saying.

• If your links haven’t worked in Reddit comments before, it may be because you aren’t using the full URL, including the https:// and www. before the domain name.

Not pasting a full URL is still “okay” because people can copy/paste for themselves into a browser usually, but it’s not what you’re probably trying to do.

Using the above example, both www. and https:// are necessary aspects of the URL if you want them to create a clickable link in a Reddit comment. It may even create clickable links on other text or instant messaging apps or forums. So https://www.reddit.com is clickable, but if you only say reddit.com or www.reddit.com, it won’t be. This can create confusion because internet browsers help us out by autocompleting some of these things for us. If I’ve visited Reddit before, “reddit” in a browser may be enough to send me to the website. If I haven’t, “reddit.com” is plenty for a browser to fill in the https://www. for me. It’s just that the Reddit app doesn’t do the heavy lifting there, so we have to be specific down to the full URL. You can get the full URL by clicking on the browser’s address bar (which may just say reddit.com before you click it) and copying and pasting the full text that appears.

• On the chance that you want to be able to hyperlink in Reddit comments like this, to use the same Amazon product as our example, that can be simple and quick as long as you remember the format. It goes like this:

[text](URL)

Where once again the URL includes the whole thing, the https, www., and .com (or .gov, et cetera) and whatever follows it for the specific page you’re linking.

There is no space between the brackets and the parentheses.

Basically anything can go outside of them otherwise. In the hyperlink I created above, instead of [text] I wrote [like this] and instead of the letters URL in the parentheses, I used the full link. You can see that you can use whatever you want in the text box as long as it has a bracket facing inside before and after; spaces and special characters are okay inside the [text] portion as far as I’m aware. Similarly, I added a comma after the URL and close parentheses. The comma shows as a comma as part of the sentence, but I didn’t want it to appear with the hyperlink text because I decided it looks better separately today. I could have instead included the comma in the text [like this,] with no issues. As long as you open and close the []brackets, with no space before open and closed parentheses() it should be all good.

Hopefully one of those is the problem you were having. Cheers
