Since I can not squat as long due to knee problems I have bought this stool and have thus worked all summer and it was really good. You can plant flowers in the sitting and pulling weeds, etc. without thereby sink the same in the ground. Also the other way around to squat he is fine because he has a padded surface on the back. The compartment under the seat, however, is so only for small items like a pruning shears, garden string, planting brackets but that does not bother and so 5 stars.
