Garden Kneeler & Portable Stool from Gardeners Supply Company - Ideal for Gardening, Planting & Pruning

Robert A. Stier: Had one of the originals I had inherited. This one's an improvement on an old standard. It folds easily for hanging. The pads are particularly comfortable; a softer one for kneeling and a more firm one for sitting - and they are mounted so they don't slip off. This unit is steel and is quite sturdy. The handles make getting up from kneeling easy since you can push off from them. A great piece of equipment.

Jim Long: I like this kneeler bench, I rely on it to do my weeding. It has a wider, stronger kneeling area, which I like, and the padding is thicker, too. I had ordered one from another company which was supposed to be all metal, but the area under the padding turned out to be plastic. This one is wood under the padding, stronger and better. I like everything about it except for the fact the frame keeps bending when I use it. I'm not overly heavy - 198 pounds, so it shouldn't bend, but where the joints are, each time I use it, I have to bend the frame back in place. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars, it's much better than other brands.

Baker3: I am a frequent online shopper and always research reviews various places before I commit to buying an item. Well I bought this for my 82 year old grandmother who's joy in the summer is gardening. Her issue was she couldn't kneel down at all to do so. I was originally concerned about the comfort, safety, functionality, and sturdiness of such a product. However, I am happy to report that this product is of great quality and that my grandmother loves it!!!! She even uses it inside. It is lightweight enough for her to move where she needs it. She reports that it is safe and has no issues. Before I gave it to her I tried it just to be sure and felt it was durable quality. it came already assembled with prompt delivery.

J.S.: I ordered this item 2 days ago and it showed up on my door today. Wow! Really fast shipping. I bought this due to my trouble with rising from a kneeling/sitting position. I am not as agile as I once was. My weeds were taking over my garden and flower beds. I had to do something. So I started researching kneelers. Out of all I came across this seemed the best choice. I am happy I went with it.

I was weary that it would not be sturdy enough to hold me but after sitting on it and rising from a kneeling position several times I am pleased with the construction of this item. I feel confident that there will be no issues. It appears solidly built and I anticipate it lasting for some time. I am also surprised as to how light it is. I have used it in the garden and it remains sturdy, stable and easy to rise and reposition. I will update this review if I find any issues.

K. Miller: My wife and I have been avid postage-stamp gardeners for the past 35 years. Nearly every weekend you can find us tending our vast array of vegetables and herbs. The past few years, though, age has crept up on us and many body parts on both of us have begun to complain, mostly knees and lower back. My wife has considerable difficulty standing up from a kneeling position, even when I lend her a hand up.

I had to do something.

Watching her struggle in pain led me to think that there has got to be a better way, something that will make gardening pleasurable again. I did a considerable amount of research on various pads, scooters, kneelers and others in an effort to find the best solution.

Simple foam pads that you toss on to the ground were right out. While compact and portable, they offered no leverage when you attempted to rise from a kneeling position.

Garden Scooters on were right out. Postage stamp gardening does not leave much room for a wheeled device (plus we have pavers for when we want to collect herbs or vegetables and it is muddy), and having only a sitting option meant lots of bending over at the waist...too much pain.

Garden kneelers...
