Most Helpful Favorable Review

We actually needed this item to fill several roles including use in the lawn and to act as a platform to pull our dogs in an upcoming parade.

The assembly took a little more time than I expected but the instructions were clear.  The cart is strong and easy to pull.  It's stable enough you can actually...

Most Helpful Critical Review

We bought this cart less than 3 weeks ago for the kids to use for hauling already-split firewood to where we stack it. We wanted something sturdy, with good wheels that move easily for them.

We think the price was great...we paid about $65 on sale, while other stores sell the same cart for $89 and up. ...

This is almost the same as our old garden cart and it's the lowest price.  We haven't assembled it yet but it should do what we need: haul fire wood, bags of soil, large rocks, pots of plants, etc.  I love being able to raise and lower the sides.  Our old cart would still be in service but we left it outside with a large load of firewood on it and all the tires went flat.  Replacing the tires or wheels would cost about as much as this cart.  Our recommendation: don't use it to store things.

I just got this so I am not going to write about performance.  However, the packaging of these things is awful.  I went through three at Sears and one from a big box hardware store before keeping one from Sears.  The boxes were all torn up, front and rear mesh panels were commonly bent, one specimen had a misaligned steering/yoke.  My suggestion is to buy three or four of these, piece together a good one from the parts and return the others.  My general impression is that the engineering is good but the manufacturing is sloppy (misaligned holes, large burrs, poor packaging).  The web site...

Great product

I bought this at K-Mart and could not be more pleased. The packaging for the nuts, bolts, washers and pins should be the new standard for all parts packaging. Shrink wrapped to a cardboard panel with what is was and where it was to be used on each section. Made is very easy to put together. Also the cart is the best one I have seen for yard use. The only thing I would like to see was a liner for it so you could haul dirt better. May build one to go in it.

Good value.

This is a good-looking, functional wagon -- the sturdy wheels alone would be worth the cost!  Directions could have been better, but assembly wasn't all that difficult.  We had it shipped to our local Sears store and picked it up there.  We also cut the cardboard carton that it came in, and used it to protect the bed.  Very pleased with this purchase.

Easy assembly, useful cart

This cart was easy to put together, and I've put it to good use around the yard. With the sides down, I've also used it for moving heavy boxes from house to vehicle and then into my office. Very handy.

Bought this when it was on sale for 2/3 of the original price. Not really needed one, but based on excellent reviews and sale price decided to jump on one. Overall, I think it is defientely worth the price. Collapsible sides, all metal construction, good wheels make this a good buy. If you are looking for a well built utility cart - this will make a good buy!

I like my wagon but I have found that it turns over sometimes when making a turn. You almost have to make a wide turn to avoid dumping your load. I have done this several of times & find myself going slow across the yard so I don't get it off balance or cut the curve to short. It is really good for hauling stuff back & forth in my 1 acre yard.

This cart comes in a box full of parts you need to assemble. The product come packed pretty well and instructions are easy to use. You will need some tools to put this together that will not come with the cart. Overall its a very good by as you can fit load of stuff in the cart including two kids. The items seems pretty durable. The latches came bent on the one We got but that wasn't a big issue as they bent back fairly easy with Vise grips. For the price you cant beat it. If you where to build your own cart the wheel axles and front steering will cost more. The cart is all steel so its pretty...

Great, I love the handle.

I needed something for my Dad to carry his trash cans up and down the driveway.

This cart can be towed his lawn tractor ..Perfect!

It hold two trash cans no problem. The handle is what puts it above the rest. And its was on sale making it less money the HDepot.

Bought this April of 2008 and the side rails are already rustng out. We do keep it outside, but hell, my grill has lasted longer without rusting. The paint job is the culprit especially at the joints, thats where mine is rusting out. It'll probably last another 2 years. In the flip side it has moved mountains. The 800 pound question, yeah, no problem. So if you want it to last forvever store it inside(I just don't have the room).

Best Value for the Money Anywhere!

I was a bit reluctant at first after reading some of the previous reviews but I couldn't pass on the price. Over the past two weeks, I compared all of the 800# - 1200# carts and was surprised that the quality of these carts was practically identical, only priced higher and higher depending on the retailer. This cart has worked fantastic for its purpose. I've had no problems with the sides or noisy wheels. I can only assume that a noisy wheel is the result of an extremely heavy load as the wheels butt against a metal spacer on one end and secured by a washer and cotter pin on the outside. I've loaded... read full review »

Makes yard clean up a lot easier

I bought this to haul yard clippings from back yard to front. I think the cart is quite sturdy for what I need it for and the tires are great. I'm not sure it would hold 800 pounds either, but it works fine for what I need it for.
