The 10 Best Garden Stools

As affordable as it is functional, the Ohuhu Kneeler (around $29) will save your back and your time with its cushioned seat and attached tool pouch. And if you'd like to work from a kneeling position, simply flip it upside down and you have a comfy spot to support your bones.

If you think style is as important as function, the BirdRock Floral (appx. $97) is one to consider. With a detailed and stylish pattern, it works just as easily as an indoor conversation piece as it does a place to rest while you’re out in the yard.

Technically, the Rubbermaid Non-Slip (about $30) is a step stool, but for many, this increases its usefulness. You can climb it to reach high shelves in your garage, shed or greenhouse, then carry it outside and sit on it while you work.

The Best Choice Products Rolling (about $83) is designed to look like an old tractor seat, and is comfortable, durable, and easy to move, thanks to its four 10-inch wheels. It is coated with a weather-resistant finish to ensure it can stay outside as long as you can.

Boasting a graceful, interlocking ring design, the Safavieh Double Coin (appx. $86) will add a touch of elegance to a sunroom or veranda. There’s one to match any decorative scheme, thanks to a range of available colors that includes antique white and light blue.

The rustic Deco 79 Drum (about $99) is a charming choice for those who enjoy an old-fashioned aesthetic in their outdoor space. With a weathered mahogany lid and an eye-catching textured tin body, this will add a touch of nostalgia to a home.

The original design of the Vertex Rocker (about $39) makes it one of the most ergonomic models available. Its curved base allows you to lean in any direction without moving it, and it minimizes strain on your knees and back by making awkward movements unnecessary.

It may look like a child's toy, but the Step2 Hopper (about $67) is no plaything. With wheels designed to move easily over grass, a sturdy molded seat, and a spacious storage compartment, it is ideal for the gardener on the go. The hinged top can also serve as a carrying handle.

This GCI Outdoor PackSeat (about $21) was designed for camping, but it is also a practical option for anyone who works outside on their landscaping. It is incredibly compact, so you might consider this one if you have a large plot to tender.

The makers of the Ames Lawn Buddy Planters Cart (about $45) thought of nearly everything. In addition to a lid that functions as a handy seat, it’s got a flip-up handle as well as a substantial capacity for toting budding flowers, soil, and more.
