Tools and Hardware Reviews of The Rumford Gardener JBI2000 Gardener's Kneeler/SeatCustomer Review: One of the handiest things around for bad knees and backs. Summary: 5 Stars
Just about everybody over the age of thirty has some kind of issue with knee and/or back pain, esp. when you want to do seasonal clean-ups inside or out.
I was kind of flabbergasted when I was on my hands and knees, cleaning the bathroom floor, and my knees...hurt!...just from kneeling on the tile. I bought this device to help with that chore, and it's a lifesaver. It's made for outdoor use (and it's one of the sturdiest things I've ever bought), but for me it's been wonderful for indoor cleaning.
The reviews here are excellent, so I don't want to reinvent that wheel. There are just two things I'd add from my own observations; that is, things you might not know until you actually order and get this kneeler.
First of all, the yellow pad is on both sides, it's not just padded one one side. Now as it's show in this picture, it's something to sit on. If you burn it upside down so the yellow pads are a few inches off the floor, behold! It's a kneeler! The metal "arms" that become long when you flip it over are extremely sturdy. If you have problems working on the floor and getting up, they'll hold your weight easily and make getting off the floor a breeze (you don't even have to be kneeling ON it to use it as a sturdy prop to stand up.)
The other thing is that the device is folded up when you get it. To use it, you just open one "leg," then the other. Some folks seem to have problems folding it back up (very easy to store.) To do this, look for the springs on each side. There is a metal bar that runs perpendicular to the springs. Grasp the bar AND the spring section and squeeze. It's very resilient. You don't have to force the two bars together, but just enough to loosen the knobs that click into place when you open the device. When you squeeze (and yes, it's a bit hard if you're a woman), push the arm down, and one half is folded. Do the same with the other side, and you're done. (To open it, just open each arm. It locks into place with no effort.)
You don't have to be an AARP member to find this device to be incredibly useful. I bought two: one for indoors and one for outside stuff. I absolutely recommend it if you find that your glucosamine and chondroitin tablets are taking awhile to kick in with that knee pain!
