Whitmor Utility Cart with Adjustable Height Handle-Silver/Black

Flimsy with brittle plastic parts

I bought this to haul groceries in my high rise bldg. It was easy to assemble and seems very sturdy. For people who have complained about flimsiness, you didn't assemble it properly. Contrary to some reviews there ARE cotter pins for the back wheels and when installed properly (ie: bent around hubcap), the wheels can not fall off. It isn't possible. The basket is larger than I thought and hauled everything I needed. The only drawback is that the wheels don't turn corners, just basic front-backwards motion, but it is easy enough to maneuver when tipped onto the back wheels. Overall a functional, cheap utility cart. Recommend.

Bought this item when I moved into a new apartment to haul stuff from the car to the elevator and up to the apt. After about four uses the press on nut holding on the rear large wheel fell off while in use and disappeared. It is a lousey system for this type of cart as there is no really positive attachment like a cotter pin and only a press on cap. Just too flimsey for a unit of this size. I don't recommend anyone buy this unit.

I bought this cart as I was looking for a strong, sturdy method of carrying/walking my groceries home. Having used it for several weeks, I am certainly pleased with the results. For anyone wondering, the cart arrives in a large, rectangular box. Inside is the frame, the axle, wheels, along with the screws and washers. The instructions claim assembly takes less than 30 minutes and it is indeed so. It took me about 15 min and I didn't need any additional tools.Regarding the cart itself, the entire frame feels very sturdy. It folds easily enough and there's a little piece to lock it in "folded" mode. The handle bar is surrounded by foam which makes holding it for longer strolls easier. The front door on the cart doesn't really have a "lock" but rather it latches in place like a hook. This isn't really a big deal, so long as gravity keeps the front door in place.Regarding durability, I personally haven't carried anything more than 60 lbs or so, and it was just groceries, so I can't make a comment on the maximum weight this thing can carry. But for what I carried, it did the job nicely. I don't see any wear and tear at all with regards to the frame. The wheels however, had a little wear to them.All in all, I don't regret my purchase. The cart serves its purpose well. I can only give this cart 4 stars however as it is indeed, a little expensive, and time will tell how long the wheels hold up. So if you're looking for a sturdy cart to carry groceries or other heavy objects with and you need something bigger than the ever popular, but small 2 wheeled carts that everyone seems to be using, I would certainly recommend this cart.

The size on the description says that it is 21" x 24.5" x 40" (53.3cm x 62.2cm x 101.9cm), that is false!The actual measurement is 16" x 17.5" x 21.5" .I don't know why this description has never been corrected. Surely more people noticed that the product is much smaller than advertised! The metal parts of the cart are strong, but the wheels are a cheap plastic. I am not sure how this will hold up. I am considering returning it since the wheels are so cheaply made and the size of the care is much smaller than what they claim. Not nice getting something different from what is advertised.

El carrito llego a tiempo y sin detalles.Armarlo me tomo un poco de tiempo pero con calma lo pude lograr.Es muy espacioso y el manejo es bueno aunque se necesita un poco de practica para dominarlo, pero en superficies planas "se maneja solo".El carrito se rompió del eje de las llantas tras 4 meses de uso y el peso promedio de carga no rebasó los 15kg.Creo que el tamaño grande jugó en contra de la resistencia de los materiales del producto.Es una pena, parecía que los materiales eran de mejor calidad.Calificó con 1 estrella porque de nada sirve tener mucho espacio en el carrito si no se puede aprovechar del todo.
