I have used this type of cart for quite some time now. The ones that I had previously purchased came from CVS. I needed a heavier cart and a taller cart. With the one from CVS, I had to hunch over slightly (I’m 6′ tall). This cart really fit the bill for me. The construction is much heavier and it is a sturdy item that rolls well regardless of surface. It was not overly difficult to put together(I’m not mechanically inclined) and all of the parts (including some spares) were included.
All in all, I’m very pleased with my purchase (I bought two).

This cart arrived with no instructions. They sent them after I asked and, except for one missing washer(easily found in any hardware store), the unit was easy to assemble. It is deceptively stout, easily carrying 50 lb.s of groceries. I strongly encourage anyone who has no stairs to encounter to get this product; I am older and have a ranch house; this product is a Godsend for carting cases of water and heavy groceries from the car to the kitchen (that can be a chore for an older person.) This cart handles it all and, properly loaded and unloaded, will last for years.

This cart holds a Lot. The large rear wheels make it very stable in transit. Folded size is quite manageable.

I found this easy to put together but before I ever got a chance to use the cart it broke while I was trying to get it to fit in the trunk of my car. Moderate pushing and a bit of leverage and sprauang! One rear wheel popped off with bits of hardware flying everywhere. So off I head to Home Depot for parts to fix it. While putting my broken cart into a store cart the other wheel did the exact same thing. Too much stress on the wrong part at the wrong angle and you’ll find the weakness in this design very quickly. Maybe it can carry 100 lbs no problem, but don’t ever try to put that much weight on its side, or attempt the moderate wedging/twisting I did.
The good news is that with three bucks of parts, a small screwdriver, a small pair of pliers or wrench, plus some good tape, you can make a version of this cart that’s much stronger than the original. I’d recommend doing it right from scratch because you will need the springs and washers that come with the unit and I almost lost mine when those springs sprung on me. The small front wheels look okay – it’s the large back ones that need this fix:
1) get one small pack of #4-40 x 1/2″ machine screws with nuts. I got round head slotted ones but anything that size will do so long as you can tighten them.
2) get two little packets of 3/8″ nylon washers – two per pack for a total of four. (Very close to the screws at Home Depot.)
Assembly is very similar to the instructions but forget the cotter pins and “friction cap”. These are the weak parts. But if you want to ignore my advice and do things their way, at least add the tape around that friction cap as a last step so if/when they do snap at least things won’t go flying all over. To assemble: A) put axle through holes as per the instructions. B) the new order of things: metal washer, nylon washer, spring, wheel, nylon washer, metal washer. C) now use your screw and nut instead of their cap and cotter pin – tighten a normal amount. If there’s dried paint and whatnot inside the hole through the axle you may need to clean that out before you can get the screw through. D) tape around and around the very end of the axle so you cover the screw/nut with many layers. I used stretchable black plastic tape (usually sold as electrical tape) – works great. Don’t tape any farther down the axle from the tip than necessary – just cover the screw/nut. E) repeat on the other side, but you may need some spare hands because the springs must be compressed a bit to give you enough of the axle to work with. (I managed without help but I’d have asked if any additional helpful hands were handy!)
This took me WAY longer to describe than to do. Now there’s no way, for many years, any of this is coming off that axle unless the whole thing snaps in half. I’m still going to be a lot more careful about the way I treat this cart, but at least I don’t have to baby it. It looks like it should be very useful and well worth the investment(s). Note that folded up it’s still large and you could have difficulty getting it in the trunk of a compact car.

This cart is lightweight but strong enough for most grocery chores. The cart moves with very little rolling resistance. The guy that couldn’t get the front wheels to roll must have mis-assembled the cart. All four wheels roll beautifully.
The assembly is straightforward and easy; about 10-15 minutes. The directions are obviously prepared by a foreigner, but it’s easy to understand. A little old-fashioned, low tech – cotter pins and clips, but it all works well.
Just right!
