Gardman R616 Folding Garden Kneeler and Seat for Comfortable Gardening

OregonBill: A boon to our garden. A real old-folk knee saver and the handles make for an easy rise when used as a kneeler. When used as a seat it is at a comfortable height. We battle over who gets this seat so often we may have to buy another one! :) The fold up feature is great also, easy to carry to/from the garden. Wish this was available years ago. Only com is beware of the latches that lower the side arms. They can be a real finger pincher.

EMC: easy to unfold and refold. perfect for kneeling in garden for weed pulling--handles make it incredibly easy to get up. unit is sturdy, easily moved from one place to another. pad comfortable enough so knees (and clothes) are protected from the dirt without feeling "mushy." have not tried as a higher chair. thinking of putting something on bottom so I can also use it to scrub floors when necessary. I would recommend.

Alyssa K.: I'm not old, I'm only in my 30's. But I have back trouble... then again, maybe anybody would if they had gardens like I do. Anyway, for the price, I wasn't expecting much. But I am so happy with this seat! It's light, it's strong, comfortable enough... perfect for me.

You have to have some common sense, it's not meant to stay outside, that's why it folds, so you can store it. But used properly, it is very sturdy. I am 6'1" and about 170lbs. It could probably hold twice my weight, although I'm not going to try it!

some reviewers complained that the cushion was too hard. It's not soft or gel like, but it's not uncomfortable either. I think it is as soft as it could be and still be durable. My knees were thankful for it.

I also saw complaints that they didn't receive the one pictured. Mine was exactly like the picture.

So I'm very happy with this so far! I've had it a few months. If anything comes up, I will edit this review, but so far I can't think of anything I'd change with this seat.

J. Simmons: I love this thing! I used it to plant and weed and it did great! I don't have a problem getting up and down, but I found that my other kneelers always got dirty and were hard to manage after a while. This keeps the kneeler out of the dirt! It also makes a great sitting tool when working on flower pots or trimming something low to the ground. Best price around. I used it right out of the box.
I wish I had it years ago!!

Kapt Kool: Seems like it's built sturdy enough to handle the rigors of gardening. Not sure how long the pad will last it you leave it exposed to the elements so I would recommend putting it in a shed or inside when not it use Pretty clever in that it's a two position device where you can kneel on the pad to get down low and use the legs as aids to push yourself up or flip it to the high position and sit comfortably. I like the fact it folds flat for storage too.
