Jim Canova has been a professional detailer since 1990. He’s also the inventor of the BumBee Seat, a folding, rolling, detailing seat that makes working on your vehicle, in your garage or shop, and around your home or office easy and more important, comfortable. Jim’s calculated he’s done over 8,000 details and that has earned him the experience he’s carried into the design of his BumBee Seat, creating a new category of furniture he calls Recreational Utility Seating. He launched his first BumBee Seat on Kickstarter in 2019 and discovered that buyers were using his seat for many more projects from detailing to garden, tailgating, patios, dog grooming, ranch chores, aircraft work, motorcycle maintenance, art studios, and much, much more. Today he is launching his new and improved design on Indiegogo with Acorn Product Development. You can get your BumBee Seat starting August 5, 2022.
