If you're like me and your knees are starting to get a lot of mileage on them, they simply don't take bending like they did when you were 18.
But, you still have to do things from time to time that require bending down for a prolonged period of time- like fixing things and gardening. To that end, there is a solution- the
Draper 76763 Gardener's Kneeler Seat.
It's really two things in one. You can use it as a seat to sit on and do some things, but if you have to kneel and get closer down, well, just flip it around and kneel of the soft foam. Then, when its time to (try) and get up- the handles on either side let you use your arms to help boost you up- neat!
Definitely consider buying this handy chair/kneeler not only for gardening, but to have around when you have to kneel and fix stuff too. Also recommend
Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis for some good exercises to get your knees working better and out of pain.
