Dporticus 2 in 1 Foldable Gardening Kneeler Seat Bench Portable Stool with EVA Kneeling Pad and Pouches

Got one of these a few years ago for my mom when she wanted something to help her when she is out gardening, after she had hip replacement. When my dad had hip replacement he borrowed hers and loved it so much I had to order him one too. They both still rave about it.

This is just what I wanted--perfect, I would say. The cushioning is not too soft or too hard. The apparatus is light, yet sturdy. Hey, it's even good-looking. I used it today in my garden and what a relief to be able to sit close to my weeding (and whatever)--and it was easy to "drag around" with me from plant to plant. I already had a knee pad, but it has to be placed on the ground which can become slippery if damp. This knee pad is slightly above the ground and the pad's surface is not slippery. Let's hope it will last for quite some time. I sense that it will.P.S. Just discovered a problem: When squeezing the spring apparatus that releases/unfolds the "legs" be careful where you place your hands. The skin web between my thumb and forefinger got badly pinched by the mechanism and boy did I yelp! If you're going to use garden gloves anyhow, you might want to put them on ahead of time.

This is as advertised, but if you're a big person (over 200 lbs), it works, but isn't very comfortable.

The hanging tool pouch didn't impress me all that much, but it was o.k. I didn't buy it for the pouch. :) The unit is strong enough that if I am on my knees it allows me to push off the handles to stand up. I am around 200 lbs, so I was impressed that it didn't collapse. It is awesome that you can flip it to sit on it. It is light so moving it around isn't a big deal. I was a little concerned how it will stand up with daily season long use; the spring/hinge or tubing seemed a little light. But overall pleased with this.

This gardening bench is sturdy, folds up easily for storage and carrying. The seat is comfortable and well padded. The tool pouch is handy for my gloves, a trowel and a water bottle. My only complaint is the seat is too high for me to comfortably bend over from a sitting position for long periods of time. I'm 5'4" and the seat would be more comfortable if it were 4" shorter. I find myself standing up and bending over after 5 minutes of sitting, then sitting again after 5 minutes. My 7 year old granddaughter loves it as a portable seat. It will get lots of use, I just wish the seat height was adjustable.

easy to use

This is handy to help you get up from a kneeling position. The problem is when you are kneeling on it and working in the ground. You are up higher than the ground and therefore have to bend way over. I actually prefer to just kneel on the bare ground. I guess if you were working on something up higher than ground level, it might be good. But for digging holes or planting at ground level, this does not work for me. It was handy to help me get up off the ground though. I haven’t used it as a sitting “bench”, but it is very sturdy. Folds up nicely once I figured that out. I haven’t used it since I folded it up. And I’m thinking I probably won’t use it again.

I actually use this in my home and not to garden. I am a senior and use this when I have to get down on my knees to do something, such as change the light bulb at the back of the oven. It made it easier on my knees, plus gave me a handle for support, and two handles to help me get up from a kneeling position. I can see that it would be extremely useful for gardeners. I sent one to my sister as a little gift for her new home. I thought it would be helpful for her to use putting away things in lower cabinets.
