This is a very nice, sturdy stool!  I love how easily it folds and opens back up. Surprisingly comfortable.  My PT actually recommended that I purchase one as I have trouble with my back and my knees.  This makes gardening really, really enjoyable again.  I'm not in pain during or after weeding, planting, etc.  I don't use the pockets or the gloves, so can't comment on those, but they look well made.
