TIPU Multi-Purpose Plastic Kneeler and Seat for Gardening

I love this little garden bench; the "pockets" on either side make a great place to put the various tools I need for gardening, and when I need to kneel, it's simple to take those things out and flip it over so I can use the pad on the underside; the sides are sturdy and are a great help in getting up if you're in the middle of a flower bed and trying not to step on anything you'd like to keep alive! It seems sturdy enough, and it was not extremely expensive. The only thing I wish it did have would be a snap-on/snap-down cover for the tool holder pockets so that the tools that fit the space could be left in the pockets when I need to turn the bench over.

I use this upside down, not as a stool. With bad knees getting up is difficult. I hold this by the handles on its legs and go to the ground with one knee, then the other, landing on the pad between the legs. When I want to get back up I push up on the handles. I do this when I clean out my pool strainer. I'm less than 200 pounds. This might not serve for a much bigger person.

I bought this to replace a similar but taller plastic seat/kneeler that was about to break (it was not one piece). The height of this one is almost right but a bit low for me, so I added a 1" think foam kneeling pad held on by short bungee cords (see photo). That makes it about the right height for weeding, and also makes it softer. The space for small tools is a nice bonus.

I use this product for weeding my flower space. Mostly. it supports my knees when I turn it upside down, and i use it as a brace when it's time to get up on my feet. I'm elderly, I live on a hill, and I have put it to good use.

This is easy to move around as I am weeding, and I really like the built-in tool pockets on either side of the seat. I use it often during the growing season.

I have had several garden kneelers in the past and thought i'd try this one as it would not rust. it is sturdy, but lower and narrower than the more common folding kneeler, which for me makes it difficult to use. for someone short and thin i imagine it would be better for exactly these reasons, but being tall, heavy, and old i will stick to the other style in future.

This is well made....however, the sides are too low to make it easy to stand from kneeling. It would work for someone who wants to sit and garden. I wanted an easy to use kneeler. I would not recommend it for this. I would have returned it if I had not discarded the packaging.

I liked that it is sturdy and the legs won't fold up when using them to push up from kneeling. However the inside where you put your knees is a little skinny for a good sized man. My husband uses it mostly and he says it is too tight to fit both knees in comfortably.
