AMES 2463875 Easy Roller Poly Lawn and Garden Cart with Integrated Tool Tray, 4-Cubic Foot Capacity

The cart is lightweight, but sturdy. I use it to transport mulch and compost around the yard. The wheels are plastic, but strong. There is a handy tray with holes in the bottom to hold tools when not in use. The center of gravity over the front wheels makes it easy to dump out loads.Although there was nothing to assemble and the cart arrived ready to use, it did not arrive packaged soundly inside the manufacturer's box, but was packaged by Amazon. Amazon's packaging consisted of two extremely flimsy cardboard boxes taped together loosely in a sort of freeform fashion. There was a bit of unwadded, brown wrapping paper tossed inside the cart, apparently for appearances sake, or perhaps as a sort of stylized commentary on shipment padding. The paper might have been intended as padding, but it seemed more likely that someone in the warehouse had used the cart as a rubbish bin at one point and the person who "boxed" it so creatively thought the rubbish equated padding and so left it in place. In any case, the "box" arrived entirely in tatters (to the extreme embarrassment of the UPS driver, who apologized profusely), and the sides of the cart, once straight, were concave on arrival. The plastic was not cracked, however, and I opted to keep the cart and expect the sides would pop out eventually under a heavy load, rather than return the cart for exchange and risk the same artistic person packaging the replacement. (The paper padding/rubbish, on the other hand, arrived in pristine condition, as it had had quite a bit of room in the cart to escape crushing by whatever force had caved in the cart's sides.)Bottom line: The cart is a good, sturdy yard tool and I am glad I bought it. I would not have passed on the cart had I known in advance the extreme angst it would cause the packaging department working out shipping logistics, and the resulting condition in which it would arrive at my door, but I would have contacted Amazon prior to ordering to ask if it would be possible to specify the packaging when placing the order. If the answer to that query had been "no," then I would have given it a pass and purchased the cart elsewhere.

If you research an item by reading reviews, you may have just hit pay dirt. I do the same thing with almost anything I buy off of Amazon and it has saved me from making some huge mistakes. In this case I got a double surprise to the good. And I normally would not have even considered this item as I am not generally a big fan of plastic things.Generally when I start a search, I am looking for superior quality and a little style. In the case of the search for something to haul things, my eye was quickly attracted to the 4 wheel wagons. It was just a matter of whether I chose steel or wood or some combination. So I looked at 4+ stars and started reading. Although many were highly rated it soon became obvious that they arrived in multiple pieces and that every single one of them had some type of problem during assembly. It was either poor instructions or someone ended up fixing a bent axle or shaving a piece of wood so it would fit in a hole. Some people love that challenge but I am not one of them.That is when I considered looking at the plastic formed items. No fashion at all, but certainly easy to assemble. Look at the picture of this item... attach 3 wheels and go.As it turned out, it was even easier. When I opened the box, I pulled it out and started hauling.I was willing to spend a couple of hundred more for one of those sexy looking wagons, but I smirked when I was walking away with a completed carrier right out of the box.Yeah, I've been known to smirk.

I love this cart! It has 4 wheels so you don't have to lift it to wheel it around, and it won't tip over. It's sturdy, so you can load it up. The bottom is flat, so you can put a lot of flower pots (for example) in it. I leave it out in my yard from spring until the onset of winter, when I store it on the screened porch or in the garage, and it has never rusted. I used this cart for at least 10 years, then it disappeared! I looked all around my property, tried to think if I had loaned it to someone, then after a week I gave up and ordered a replacement. Turns out I DID actually loan it to someone, and they kept it so long, I forgot! Now I have 2. The new one seems just as sturdy, although I prefer the muted green color of the old one to the charcoal gray of the new one, and the new one was at least twice the price I paid for the old one. It's still worth it, because there isn't any substitute--I looked extensively. I like to drill several holes in the bottom of th bed so the cart doesn't fill up with water when it rains.

I am on my second one of these. The first one cracked on the edge. I liked it so much I duck taped it!! I still use it but bought anotherfor things that aren't too heavy. Why I like this...1. It is light2. It pushes like a dream and no heavy lifting like a wheel-barrow3. It is easy to empty.If I could change one thing what would it be?I would make the handle higher. I am 5'6" and I feel I have to stoop os it is not as convenient for a tall person. But it is great for the grandkids. The 5 year old was pushing it around the yard the other day yelling "Oma, I just had to take it for a push!"If you want something light and easy to move even with heavy loads. This is it. I will keep buying one when the old ones wear out! I have had the first one about 7 years now and my second about 3 years. I use the older one most because it still works. Cracks and all! One of these days I'll clean it up and put on the duck tape again and probably get another 3+ years out of it and it will be worth every penny that it has saved me from backaches!
