Garden Kneelers

Ita my mum's birthday soon and she's asked for a garden kneeler with handles at the sides to help her get up. She wants one that is flat to the ground though so that she doesn't put strain on her lower back. The only ones without any height seem to be in the US and I can't find one from a UK seller that are flat to the ground. Can anyone recommend a kneeler that has handles but won't strain her back? Thanks very much!

I was recently given this one from a friend as I have a bad back. I think its brilliant! Its not totally flat to the ground, but I don't find that it puts any strain on my back at all
I have one similar to pink Lillie's except mine is made of metal, it cost less to, they can be bought in this country. It folds up and doubles up as a seat when turned the other way.
Try googling garden kneeler...
Thanks so much both of you, I'll have a look at those. ?
A few of the reviews of the Draper model seem to mention that it's not very solid when being used to stand up - the handles give way which could be very nasty if your mother is putting her weight on them.
Seems like they've gone for lightness over solidity.
I've had a dodgy back most of me adult life and I find it's the stretching forwards rather than the height I start at that does the mischief. My garden kneeler is an ancient moulded plastic affair but really sturdy. If you're putting your faith in it to get you upright you don't want it giving way under you. Go to the "shop" and check them out before you order.

Just spotted this on a totally different subject but that kneeler looks like a goodun. Contact lovegardens and ask is it any good.
