Customer Review: Love this kneeler and bench. Gets harder to get up and down and this bench is a great helper. The grips make a huge difference.Easy to fold up and like the tool bags on each end. Good product

Customer Review: This is great for gardening. Easy to use, pretty strong and sturdy. Take small space and can be used as knee pad and as a little bench. Super easy to clean.

Customer Review: A simple idea that makes so much sense. Useful as a seat and as a kneel pad PLUS, an easy way of getting up from a kneel position even if you are younger. The side pocket works in both positions. Last, it folds for easy storage. Great idea.

Customer Review: I didn’t know how much I needed a garden kneeler until I purchased the MaxWorks Foldable Garden Kneeler & Seat! It is obviously useful outdoors, but it is wonderfully efficient for indoor house cleaning chores as well. My dodgy knee was celebrating the firm yet cushy heavy duty foam kneeling surface today as I was cleaning the baseboards. The sturdy arms/legs make rising to stand safe and easy. The tool caddy is sturdy and useful. I highly recommend this reasonably priced, heavy duty, MaxWorks Foldable Garden Kneeler & Seat.

Customer Review: I bought this garden kneeler for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It’s perfect for kneeling, comfortable and protective on his knees. The side supports are a huge bonus; he uses them to help stand up, and they make a noticeable difference.When you flip it over, it turns into a stable little stool, which has been surprisingly helpful for working at a comfortable height. I also really like the small holders on the sides for storing tools. Very convenient! It was easy to assemble, feels very durable, and has already become a fantastic gardening companion for both of us. He’s very happy with it, and I’m impressed by the quality.

Customer Review: So been looking for a knee pad to use with gardening and this product is perfect for me. First of all it is very comfortable on my knees, much better than those small hand pads you see in garden stores. It also has a handle on each side which is good for lifting yourself up when rising after done with your gardening. These handles also make carrying around the product from place to place very easy. They also fold back flat with the seat so the whole unit is easily stored away. Moreover, the entire item turns upside down and becomes a seat which you can also use for your gardening. Is sturdy and well built yet light enough to easily carry around. As a bonus it comes with two removable, canvas side pockets which you can use to place extra tools in although I doubt I will use these as it would just add weight to the kneeler and make it a little harder to carry around but I am sure many people would like that feature. All in all, an excellent gardening kneeler which I will enjoy for a long time.

Customer Review: This is really a great item for the price. It is extremely sturdy – my 230lb son sat on it and it did not even budge, there is no assemble, just a simple flip which makes it easy to store and to carry around, it has great padding for knelling protecting the needs and is just the right height in the sitting position to work from the ground up. It also comes with a great carry bag to put extra tools, etc. in and the tools it comes with are very strong and can be stored on the side of the seat. I just can’t get over how easy it is to fold and all the other uses possible beside gardening. I totally recommend.

Customer Review: No assembly required! I really was impressed with this little garden bench/kneeled! Quite sturdy and helpful in getting up from a kneeling position on the ground. Well padded’ top and bottom, as it converts with a flip to become a stool to garden from as well.I’ve trimmed low bushes and gathered veggies from the sitting position and flipped it over to get onto my knees to plant or weed the garden.Quite lightweight but solidly built and sturdy even when raising yourself with your arms on the side grip rails. The padded seat/kneeling pad is really thick and comfortable.The only drawback I see is using it in muddy soils, the grip sides after a flip will likely become muddy but I think a quick rinse off will cure that easily. The metal might also be a bit bigger in diameter to avoid sinking into moist ground but you can easily avoid that too with a bit of newspaper or a bit of tarp when you plan to set this ‘bench’.Looking forward to using this all summer long!

Customer Review: This is a great gardening bench. I love mine so much that I plan to get one for my mom. It can be turned to make a comfortable gardening chair or a cushioned kneeling bench for weeding. The wide bench makes for a stable seat strong enough to hold a large framed person. I think the pouches that hold tools are a wonderful addition. The sturdy metal sides are spring loaded and fold down flat for easy storage. Someone with limited grip strength could struggle with squeezing the springs to fold the sides. I don’t remember there being much assembly required, I think it was just fastening the tool pouch and the foam seat which was easy. This is a wonderful gardening project and has reduced the strain on my knees and back.

Customer Review: I really like this a lot. You can sit or kneel. It’s light weight. I like the pouches for garden tools, heavy duty fabric. I use it all the time. One of the braces for the feet was cracked. I just never got around to ask them to send me another foot brace so now it’s too late. It’s really sturdy, cushion is comfortable

Customer Review: This is great very easy to setup no real assembly and love the fold up feature very compact. Will help to get up as I have knee implants and cannot garden on my knees with implants.

Customer Review: Easy to use and move around. Love the wide bench. Without the use of the handles to get up and down, I doubt I could do much garden work. Fantastic bench.

Customer Review: This is fantastic. It really helps me with getting back up from a kneeling position and keeping my balance. The kneeling pad and seat pad is comfortable. It’s also easy to fold up and carry around the garden area, but very sturdy. My garden is not level and flat, it is terraced. I cannot use one of those seated garden rolling vehicles, but this is perfect for my situation. It can be used for anything that requires you to kneel. As a person in my sixties, I need a little help getting back up on my feet in the garden and this is the thing to do it. It talks about seniors, but it can be very useful for anyone, anywhere. This is a great price for what you get. I say go for it!

Customer Review: Great, very low and then you just turn it over and it’s a seat! I was so looking forward to using this, but the arthritis in my knees just won’t let me bear any weight on them. Otherwise, I would 100% recommend. Not the company’s fault. Seems like a sturdy product. It came same day too.

Customer Review: I bought this to help around the yard when cleaning the garden and flower beds. It is very sturdy. It folds up easy and is portable. The cushion is comfortable on knees. I like that it has the arms to assist standing. I can clean it easily with a rinse of the hose and it fols up for easy storage. Flip it over and it doubles as a seat for when I am working on at the table in the barn.

Customer Review: I love this little bench. It saves my back when I’m out working in my garden.

Customer Review: Others found it difficult to put together; I did not! It took about an hour, but was easy, no hammers were necessary. The support braces are really strong, and the cushion is comfortable. This will be most comfortable in the garden, or in the house. I do wish it folded, but it does not.

Customer Review: This is going to be a game changer. I know it’s advertised for gardening, but I think it will help around the house too. Wasn’t hard to put together and looking forward to using.

Customer Review: I have a lot of problems with my back and my right leg when I work on my knees I can’t get up. The garden kneeler allows me to get up after working with the help of the handles.

Customer Review: As I’ve gotten a little older, I find it more difficult to kneel in the garden to plant or weed, so I was intrigued by this product and excited to give it a try. I am really excited for the spring after receiving this and trying it out.The kneeler comes with the legs folded in. It is very simple to unfold the legs. You hear a click as you open them up. Then you have a choice to use it as a kneeler (with the metal legs pointed up) or as a seat (with the metal legs down).As a kneeler: the pad is not super soft (like a pillow) so your knees don’t sink into it, but it is soft enough to provide cushioning for your knees. I was able to kneel on this for over an hour without any discomfort. Because the legs are pointed up when using as a kneeler, you can use the bottom of the legs on either side to help push yourself up so it’s easy to get up.As a seat: it’s the same pad but it provides a good amount of support when sitting on it. I’ve tried it with someone up to 250 pounds. It’s rated for higher but I can’t attest for anything higher. It was fine, sturdy and stable at 250 pounds.The pad for either the kneeler or the seat is about 15” long. The color of the pad is a nice green and the legs are a darker metal green. The color is appropriate for the purpose.There are two bags that come with the kneeler. One fits over the handle and hangs on the side of the kneeler and holds gardening tools. The other is a bag with handles that hold about 10 tools in individual pouches on the sides. There are elastic straps above the pouches that help hold the tools in place while walking. The inside of the bag is roomy and holds a lot more. The handles are comfortable to hold when carrying it, even when the bag is full.To close the kneeler, just push the spring-loaded handles in and fold the legs into the center. When closed, the kneeler is compact and can lean up against the wall taking up very little space. This is also a good choice to carry in the car in case you need an extra seat. While it doesn’t have a back (it’s not a chair), it will provide a comfortable seat.This is well-made and thoughtfully designed. With the two bags, this is a very useful item. It would make a wonderful gift for someone who gardens and I will certainly be using it on a regular basis.
