 Portable, Yet SolidApr 03, 2003
By Warren Holzem
All you have to do is pick this thing up to know that it's hollow plastic parts. And all you need to do is sit on it once to know that this is one solid little stool.The manufacturer's catalog that came in the box shows that their other products are children's toys that are built for punishment, yet no so dangerous that they'd crush a child. They've carried that same quality construction through to this little stool. The wheels are a little on the small side to carry my 230-lb body across a patch of healthy lawn with ease, but it wasn't so difficult that I would have to stand up and move it, either. I find it a tad inconvienent to reach under the seat to get to tools. There is a cup holder on the outside, but it's design is such that it isn't good for anything but cups or cans. The one thing I'd like to see here is some other sort of outside storage for tools instead of the cup holder. The all-weather plastic means you can leave it outside, but it's lightweight design means you can store it on an upper shelf, too. All in all, the solid, but lightweight construction makes this one a keeper.

 Great Garden Helper!Oct 07, 2002
By L. J Young
"young11860"
I must admit that this was somewhat an impulse purchase, it appeared in my Gold Box and I bought it. It is a great help around the garden. I find that it works best on the sidewalk beside the garden. If I try to sit on it and scoot around the garden, it tends to get stuck. It also works well as a small, mobile table when planting items into my garden. The handy storage area under the seat is a great place to keep garden tools, however it does not provide for drainage, so gloves, metal implements proably should not be stored there.

No more sore back.Jun 29, 2002
By Rheumor
This was a gift for the person who does the gardening here. Days spent in flowerbeds were always followed by nights spent in painful spasm. This handy little rolling seat gets you to the right height to work in the garden without having to bend and stoop all day. It rolls easily enough and includes a beverage holder for your water bottle and space enough for several gardening tools. It's been sturdy enough so far and looks like it will last a while. Who knew one of the best gifts would be as simple as a nice place to sit down?

 Could have been designed so much betterMay 13, 2007
By H. Noble
"100% Tartan"
When i purchased this item i had assumed that the top part was a lid that could be opened and closed. Admittedly that was my mistake but i think the item would have benefited immensely from this alteration. The wheels work well enough, the seat is pretty large although putting tools under the seat can be a bit awkward. I also would have liked some sort of hole so that i could attach a piece of rope thus allowing me to tow the hopper around the yard instead of bending down and picking it up. I accomplished this by drilling a hole at the edge of the seat plastic and securing a piece of acrylic rope.
Overall this item was not as convenient as i had hoped but i was able to adjust by adding the rope. Turning the top seat into an opening lid unfortunately wasnt possible.

Not just for the garden!Mar 10, 2001
I have severe back and leg problems and can't bend down. I use my Garden Hopper in the house to reach low items, pick up things from the floor and any other chore that would require bending down. The large wheels make it easy to move about when you are sitting on it. The light weight makes it easy to carry. With my Garden Hopper I can do things I haven't been able to do in years.
