Who uses creeper seats/mechanics roller seats?

I'm looking to make use of a space directly under a loft/deck built within a large 30' x 40' garage (using less than half).

Who uses creeper seats/mechanics roller seats? Recommendations? There are a handful of general styles I'm looking at, wheels seem small on some; I want one that doesn't have reviews/comments that wheels fall off. I'm thinking I'd buy two for ~$50/each. You can pay less, you can pay 6x as much.

Common features are tool trays/buckets/cup holders/places for scissors (though you could put something in bucket/on tray) ... and tiny wheels (some have better looking wheels, built better generally).

Cement floors; aging knees and back; not enough clearance to go vertical in bloom (probably), but there is enough to vert veg. I want to sit and roll as often as I can.

Comfort, not bulky, wheels roll well on concrete. The one at Sears looks pretty good -- biggest scissor holder area and rubber wheels. Prices are volatile right now. A really nice seat would be $100s, but I think I can still get one at or under $100 that has good wheels.

The area between flood trays will only be so wide. So, tires meant for an outdoor rolling seat won't fit well and can't turn/pivot/roll like I'd need it to.

The Griot's Garage King's Pneumatic Creeper II does look like a good seat. Thanks.

Lot of things out there for broken down gardeners, mechanics and other humans...
yes, of course. but more than that, making use of the space available is making me adjust; I'll have to stay low. it's going to be dope! and instead of two 4' x 12' bloom-dedicated spaces, I'll save ~$700 in lights (i.e., two fewer lights) by dividing it into two 8' x 6' bloom-dedicated spaces. With 66" 120 W bar lights, it should work out to 660W per 6' x 4' space. Low ceiling under the loft/deck space in garage.

Staying with the lowrider theme, do you think I could get away with putting four 4' x 6' flood trays on twin-sized bed frames? 4' is only about 6" wider than a twin mattress. I guess it just depends how sturdy a flood tray is. If they're like a tray meant for chemical spills, they've got to be very thick plastic and won't bend/tip if 3" hang over the edge across the width.

Because I hand-feed plants, I'm not sure why I'd need to spend a lot of money on rolling benches just to get between plants. Also, rolling tables are too tall for the space I have in mind.

I'd hope to find bed frames with better wheels.
