This one i w take more care with, hope lasts at least 20 yrs. My knees & back are thanking me.

The only shortcoming is that it is unclear how to attach the hanging bags from the stool. Not only are the legs sturdy but the bench itself has very thick padding. This latest model has thicker pad and structure - rated for 300 lbs.

There is a structural piece sandwiched in the middle of the cushion. It is a little tricky to close and it is easy to get pinched on the hand if you don't watch it. Little 3 in 1 oil helps w hinges over time.

This bench is a must in my gardening endeavors. Whether i need to sit and prune, or need to kneel plant seeds, this is perfect for me. The kneeling pad is comfortably thick.

It is sooo helpful! Great for seniors. Perfect for those baby boomers who want to work in the garden. At my advanced age, this device helps me get low to subjects and get up with little difficulty.
