Winco USA 3-Tier Utility Cart, Black

Cart is excellent going over anything, even 3/4 inch high deadstop things that my wheelchair gets stuck on.Super sturdy due to the weird part round, part corner system. And even though its a lot of plastic, it has a good kind of locking system with the plastic having a squeeze and a hook type system that helps the aluminum slide in place while locking it in once its all the way in place.As for everyone saying its very hard to get the aluminum over the plastic, and the aluminum scraping the plastic thin they, they are partly right. You DO need to use lots of soapy water.But, there is no need for scraping plastic, multiple pieces of wood, a small sledge hammer (although a heavier hammer will help, but not needed. It will speed up the install though).All you need is soapy water, a small 6 inch 2x2, a hammer of your choosing, and THE most important tool: a small flat fine tooth file (or flat one side round the other), which you can get from a cheap tool store (a set of 12 mini files that has both round, 1/2 round, and flat files) for about 4 to 6 dollars. The aluminum is just cut, not deburred, and you need to use the files to LIGHTLY file the burs off, and create a very slight rolled edge inside the aluminum tube both sides. Also deburr any plastic that wasnt properly cut off or deburred.This will make it easier to slide the aluminum rods into place and won't cut into the plastic. I would not use a dreamed because the aluminum is thin and plastic is squeezey and both would be too easy to mess up with any high speed or even lower speed drill or dreamed.After deburring, just soapy water both inside tubes and plastic (keep using it after every couple hits if it dries quick), and also drop or spray some in the tube after you get the tube initially over the plastic, and use the small 2x2 wood over as much of the top of the tube as you can and give it a good whack with a hammer.I did the bottom, then the top, then put the middle both top and bottom at the same time as much as I could with my weight, keeping all sides as even as possible. Pops together easily with the wood and hammer and soap and file(s).The wheels are a bit harder, but if you take the wheels off you can use the small ends of the 2x2 and soap the hole, the plastic piece, and the head (round) metal part that goes into the hole (try not to use too much soapy water, as you might mess up the grease in the bearings), and then use a corner of the wood as close to center as possible and go back and forth on each side where the wheel is not to again not mess up the bearings to get it as flat against the plastic as possible. This part does go faster with a big hammer.The only thing I DONT like about this cart is the handles. I thought they were fully round, but they are only half round. Being as how I have VERY sensitive skin (blood thinners for life), the not round bottoms of the handles dig into my fingers like metal. Also, these handles are the only 'cheap' parts of this cart. Otherwise its as good as a metal cart. And super cheap with free shipping.I can have 4 to 5 BIG loads of laundry on the shelves no problems.Its great for tall people.Its durable.It runs over large obstacles easily.It maneuvers phenomenal.The lip(s) are the perfect size to hold stuff in, but still be able to get stuff out, even from front and back).I would recommend this to tall people up to 6 foot 3, as there is enough height to the handles to barely have to bend, if at all.I would recommend this to disabled people who need to lug around a lot of stuff on a daily basis.I would even recommend this as a food cart if you want to use it that way (but I would get white doily-ish coverings, as the plastic isn't the most mouth watering hungry looking thing).

Recently bought 2 of these carts to use at my garden club's annual plant sale. They are lightweight and will be easy to transport. Sturdy and roll easily - will be carrying heavy flats of potted plants. Assembly was easy to understand but easier once I took hints from several reviews. Use liquid dish soap around the base of each plastic "post" and forget the rubber mallet. I used a 3# hand sledge hammer and a thin piece of wood for shield. A regular hammer would do too. Don't be surprised if thin shavings of black plastic are produced as you seat the shelves.

Looks a lot better than pictures, Uprights are aluminum, each tray has an edge/lip around the outside. One lip edge about 1/4 inch high, the other three tray edges about 3/4 inch high. Should hold a spilled drink, or keep most small objects on the trays. The assembly directions are on a single sheet, with pictures of pounding the pieces together with a rubber hammer! It takes a bit of effort to get it assembled, but once you are done, it's quite sturdy and nicely constructed. You just won't disassemble it without a lot of effort.I'm using it for an end table, as I have limited mobility. For that purpose, 5 stars. Overall, I docked it one star for the assembly. Some may find it difficult to pound it together, nor will you be able to easily return it..Personally, I think it's exactly the practical, durable, "industrial chic" piece I wanted!

Instructions say to pound tubes to frame with cardboard and rubber mallet. NO WAY!There may be different manufacturing runs but my pieces were incredibly tight.I used a 3 pound hammer and 1/2" plywood buffer. It still takes about 40 blows for each connection... a real workout.An 8 pound sledge would have been been better.Use liquid hand or dish soap to lubricate the pegs.Normal consumers might give up.But when it's done, it's solid.The casters are large and commercial quality, too.

Winco USA 3-Tier Utility Cart, Black This is an incredibly useful yet lightweight cart that travels easily over a variety of surfaces. I now just grab it when transferring multiple objects around the house. It is very sturdy and well engineered and am very glad to have it. You might want to assemble it in the garage, driveway or parking lot as although assembly is quite easy it is noisy and messy.

This was probably the smartest purchase I have ever made! I am handicapped and wanted something to use for laundry and to help me with household chores. WELL, this cart was perfect!! I use it for bringing in groceries that are too heavy for me to carry, for laundry, taking cleaning supplies from room to room and I plan on using it outdoors this summer for moving plants and flower pots. It was a little hard to put together but my husband got it. It is so study and easy to push or pull. I absolutely love it! It is a very, very handy item!

This is very cheap. It would be great if the wheels would not fall off all the time. We have had a professional look at this and he said it was poorly made for the wheels to stay attached. So we have had to pay him to fix it for us. It is lightweight which we like. It is not STURDY OR HEAVY DUTY though because of the wheel situation. We are cautious to use it.

First off the product I received has round aluminum uprights instead of the half round pictured. They state a rubber mallet and piece of cardboard for assembly. Not the case! I am a fairly strong man and I had to resort to a dead blow mallet and a 2x4 to get the uprights all the way down. I thought for sure something was going to break! The plastic part of the shelf that slides into the uprights was peeling off as I hammered them down. The inside diameter of the upright is at least 1/8" to small for a proper fit.As far as functionality... it works fine! Very sturdy I must say!
