As any gardener knows, even the best-laid plans for spending a day with the soil can be ruined by the necessity for repeated trips to the house or shed for the proper equipment. With the Step 2 Garden Hopper, however, it’s possible to pack everything you need for a full day’s gardening and take it all wherever you go. The Garden Hopper features an extremely sturdy seat that’s just high enough to offer a comfortable perch yet low enough to keep you close to your garden. Wh…

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.
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?
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.
