They're not regular nuts and bolts. Yeah, I could jury rig something. But
I'd rather not. These are special so they won't rust and they have plastic
on them.

Okidokes. Oh well, you do have some spare parts then.

I swear you used to berate people for doing exactly what you're doing

It is not polite to swear but you could be right in your assumption. I believe in free speech. How do you know I wasn't teasing Julie and not berating her? Do you know the difference?

I ordered a set of boxed food from Amazon once, and got one box.
Complained, and they refunded. Fine. Also dinged the seller in
'comments', and they weren't happy, but changed their item
description soon after.

A friend ordered a computer system from Dell many years ago.
Part of the monitor base was missing They sent him a whole
new, BIGGER monitor and told him to keep the other one.

I was given a Dell computer some years ago as a gift. I called and
complained because it was supposed to come with a microphone and it wasn't
there. They said they couldn't just send me one so they sent me some money
to go buy one which I did.

Some years later, I was getting rid of the boxes as I didn't have the
computer any more. And there was the microphone! It was much smaller than
I had envisioned and tucked away in a bag of some sort of instructions that
I never opened as I never needed. Oops!

There's a company in the U.S. called McMaster-Carr <http://www.mcmaster.com>
She probably could order suitable hardware there, but she's mechanically
impaired. McMaster is excellent; my husband is a frequent shopper on
their web site.

Still, having Amazon make good on what they sold her probably was the
right thing to do.

I'm absolutely positive that there is nothing so special about that
hardware that you can't buy it from an on line store for mere pennies,
just like that shower chair seller did... I'll bet my bippee that
shower chair company does not make their own fastener hardware, not
one nut/bolt in any automobile is made by the automobile company...
there are companys that do nothing but manufacture fasteners. Odds
are great Lowe's and Home Depot will have that hardware.... they carry
a huge selection of stainless steel and brass nuts and bolts.

Same happened to me with a Dell monitor some 10 years ago, I made a
base and am still using both monitors.

LOL Maybe I should take Bovine out of the Boze bin so I can laugh at her
idiotic lies first hand instead of seeing them quoted. I have never in
my life heard of a company sending someone money to buy a component that
was missing from one of their units.

I have.
Some years back, I ordered a lighting fixture from Marks and Spencer. It
was missing one bulb (out of six). When I called them about it, instead
of just sending me _one_, they gave me enough money to buy a dozen bulbs.

Get stainless steel nuts and bolts. Available at any good hardware store.

Or brass which is commonly used on boats. Any hardware store sells
them both.

Not so unusual then? The problem is that some people think they know
everything ... they don't and they make themselves look stupid!

Possibly, but that won't matter for this application. It is just a
showed stool.

They didn't mail you cash same as you didn't mail them cash to make
the purchase. Just like any store they'd credit your plastic. I
might have believed your barroom BS had you said they sent you a
package containing one bulb, but I don't believe they'd send you cash
and enough to buy a dozen bulbs when only one was missing from a six
bulb fixture.... normal people would simply screw in one of their
own... I hadn't realized you're related to the Bove.

Marks & Sparks is no mom n' pop, it's too huge an operation for some
clerk to forego their accounting system... you'd be more believeable
had you said they sent you a gift card enough to buy one light bulb.
Their smallest denomination is £1=$1.42, and their gift cards can be
used on line.

I'd prefer SS myself. Brass might be okay, but may also be too weak,
depending on the construction methods used. SS bolts would be better
IMO. Easier to find too, at least where I live.

You are _so_ predictable, Sheldon, spouting rubbish about things you
have no experience of.
I bought the fixture online using a card, so, yes, they credited the
card I used for the purchase.
It was a halogen fitting, not a standard lightbulb, and not something I
had in stock. I do now, though! I had asked them to send the missing
bulb, but the customer service rep insisted on crediting my account for
an amount sufficient to buy 12. M&S customer service is excellent.

You get your information from Google - I get mine from actually dealing

I was going to suggest options like that, but at this point we all
know this isn't an option for Julie. Never mind the reasons.

It most certainly was.

Which is why I just responded with "okidokes" rather than suggest
anything like that. One only needs to invoke the Bove Protocol™ to the
thread to know the problem is now intractable and unsolvable.

So do I.

Usually I do, yes. However, when has that made any difference on RFC
in regards to Julie? By that I mean there are those who only see
people being 'mean' to her if a comment can in any way be perceived as
being critical.

Worse still, they don't realize that they are doing it. When I worked at K
Mart, we would occasionally give people parts from the hardware department
if we had them in stock and their furniture or other item was missing them.
This was far simpler than making them return something huge and then waiting
to get the parts back from the company or worse still, another unit. I
think on occasion we even gave them a few dollars back if we did not have
those parts and they had to go to a larger hardware store to get them. That
wasn't the norm but it did happen to keep the customer happy.

Still not the same. These have huge plastic knob things on them. And I'm
not about to pay for parts for something like this. I did for my towel rack
only because I knew that the mail order place I bought it from had no more
in stock and that would have been a PITA to send back. The extra seat will
be handy. I know from experience that it will eventually get moldy
underneath and be impossible to clean fully.

Yes. But they won't have the big plastic knobs on them.

No, they won't but they *will* be available to buy somewhere.

You could post a pic of the plastic knobs and bolts in question here,
I'm sure somebody would provide a link to some you could buy if you
did.

If your local store does not carry them Google bolts with knobs. Amazon
has 400 pages of them.

The other option is to use a regular bold and a wrench.

Don't tell me it does not work, I've very familiar with shower seats.
It can work.

I thought a part was missing on the new Cuisinart I bought after xmas
through Amazon. I was given a choice of refund or exchange. I asked
if I could take the missing part and send that one back. No problem,
do what I want to do. It's very easy with Amazon. BTW: I discovered
that the part wasn't missing after all, it had changed from colored to
clear so I didn't see it.

Brass fasteners are plenty strong for a plastic stool (stronger than
the plastic), only drawback they tarnish. Had the Bove posted the URL
for the stool with a discription and picture she'd have gotten a lot
more help.... I doubt the nuts n' bolts are larger than 1/4"-20, and
the plastic is a piece of tubing over the protruding threaded portion
to prevent the user from getting cuts from the sharp threaded edges.

Just so happens I am well acquainted with someone who worked for
several years at a Marks & Sparks in London, England as an accountant,
that's how I just today learned the Brits call it Marks & 'Sparks'...
she didn't believe your fercocktah story either, she said they'd never
send you cash, they'd either send a gift card to cover the cost of the
one bulb or tell you to stop into a store and they'd give you the one
bulb, even if they had to take it from another lamp... no one there
you could phone directly would have the authority to send you cash...
they'd not mail the Queen Mother of England cash. Were it Halagen
bulbs there's even less reason to believe you because they can be
pricey and Brits are notoriously frugal/cheap so you would have said
they are halogen bulbs in your initial post rather than after the fact
bloat your lie, a normal honest person would even have posted a pic of
that fancy schmancy lamp in your home, not an URL to a web site any
BSer can post. You were just trying to top someone else's story, same
as any common barroom sot does on a daily basis.
WTF is it people have a need to post fanciful fairytales to Usenet
that they have no way of proving, all I can think is that they are
extremely insecure *******s, imbeciles who believe no one would
question their bullshit stories. Everything I have ever posted here I
have proved initially or could prove if anyone who doubted me asked.
Half of the posters here nowadays I don't believe they are who they
claim they are or a word of what they claim they cooked... the honesty
of at least 50% of those who post to RFC has declined the same as the
rest of this planet's peoples.
Viemeister, your posts are like those from someone who claims to have
caught the big fish who has never baited a hook... your trophy fish
grew ever bigger in this post... try again, but first screw up your
courage by having a few more shots of rotgut with your loud mouthed
barroom buds. Now I'm done with you.
