I am delighted with this trolley. Excellent delivery time. I ordered this item on Monday pm, it arrived Wednesday 8 am. Very sturdy and well made. Will carry quite heavy loads with the method of construction ensuring a tight and solid fit. The castors are large and turn in all directions therefore making it easy to move over door height differences, steps and all other humps and bumps. I intend to use mine for putting seed trays on which I will be able to move indoors or outdoors. I am 73 years old and found the construction very easy. It took me about 20 mins to put it together. You do need a lump hammer as others have advised in order not to mark or damage the trolley itself. Just a couple of points to raise. 1) MAKE SURE THE HIGHER LIP ON THE ONE SIDE OF THE TRAYS ARE FACING THE SAME DIRECTION. 2) WHEN FIXING THE WHEELS ON, PUT THE BOTTOM TRAY ON TOP OF THE WHEELS AND HAMMER IT DOWN ONTO THE SPIKE. I found they went in easier after finding it difficult trying to do it with the tray upside down and pushing the wheels down into it. Once you have constructed the trolley you cannot pull it apart so make sure you have everything in the correct place before hammering. With this being a very sturdy and solid item I am sure there are many uses this trolley can be put to. I have no hesitation in recommending this item and the seller for their speedy delivery to all other interested buyers.

Very happy with this trolley. It is incredibly sturdy and can hold and easily move around a lit of weight.I'm using this trolley as an artist station and to move my enormous amount of oil paints and brushes around the studio.Well made, the wheels are quite movable and doing great job too.

This is very sturdy and easy to push.

5.0 out of 5 stars The trolley fits its intended space beautifully. Given that the assembly was stiff

P.H. · 1 January 2018

Earlier product reviews helped enormously. I lubricated the plastic lugs with a little Vaseline petroleum jelly during assembly, and I wedged the wheels to stop them turning before hitting them with the rubber mallet. With those precautions, the assembly went smoothly. The trolley fits its intended space beautifully. Given that the assembly was stiff, the trolley is now strong and doesn't rattle at all. I chose not to fit one of the handles as that better suits my needs, but the design is such that it doesn't look unfinished. It's a very practical addition to our home. We use it in combination with some plastic storage boxes: on the bottom shelf is the shoe cleaning stuff, on the middle shelf is a box of cleaning cloths for housework, and on the top shelf is the ironing basket. It's wheeled away into a discreet corner of the house and easily accessed when needed. It was a great choice.

Looks ok when it's eventually constructed. (As previous reviews have said - have a mallet and someone to help!) Be aware of the fact that the picture here shows a perfectly put together, in line example, without the plastic shavings which come off when it's put together. The castors are VERY difficult to get in, each post between the shelves needs to be hammered down, the handles have to be twisted to get into place. Having brakes on the wheels would have made it better. In terms of ease of assembly, l would definitely recommend customers look for alternatives. Disappointed with the purchase.
