The wagon seems to be working alright. However it was a royal pain to assemble the directions and illustrations are printed very small on a very cheap piece of paper they are almost worthless. One positive is that the wagon comes with a hitch bar that replaces the pull handle. This allows you to pull the wagon with a lawn tractor like I do with mine. The bad thing about that is with the swivel on the tractor plus the swivel at the hitch it has been impossible for me to back the wagon in anywhere. I have to unhitch it and push it in to tight spaces rather than backing it in. It does however roll easily with a couple hundred pounds so except for getting on and off the tractor to roll it is not to bad.

This cart is so useful for hauling things through the yard. I specifically purchased it for taking my bird seed containers out to the feeders. It wheels great with the pneumatic tires. I find myself using it for all kinds of chores. Other reviewers commented on difficulty of assembly, but my husband put this togeher, and Bob Vila he ain't! He did overtighten some bolts, so that the steering was cumbersome. Once he loosened them up, however, the cart rolls and steers beautifully.

When I opened the box to put the wagon together the screws and nuts were all over the box. As I put it together I discovered that two pieces were broken. The welded points were very poorly done and they just painted over them. I contacted the company for replacement parts, but they said they couldn't help me since I bought it from Amazon. So I had to pack it up (which was fun) and send it back for a refund.

this is a great wagon to have to haul garden stuff from the car to the yard. I give it 5 stars, except for the assembly- there were no instructions, just a bag of nuts and bolts. I am not sure if they all come this way or just mine. Had to call manufacturer to get a worthless one page diagram- that is all they had.

After I got it together, I have been very happy with it. It works great and handles well. Exactly what I needed.

The assembly instructions leave a lot to be desired but if you have any mechanical aptitude you can work your way through them. This is not a precision wagon but it is sturdy and rolls nicely. I just need it to move heavy planters around the yard. Even though the shipping brought the total cost to around $60 it is still an excellent value.

I received the wagon @ 3:00 via ups. It was completely assembled by 3:35.
For the price it's a very good buy.

I have priced a similar cart at lowes and home depot, thet are twice as much for the same quality.

I just got this item and opened it up, finding there was only one nylon strap on the box at one end and just tape on the other. Once I got the box open and pulled out the tires, bars, flat bed I found all the assembly hardware was hanging out loosley with out being in a bag to keep them from falling out of the box. Once I got all those pieces out and put them in a plastic bag I started looking at what I had and I am missing most of the pieces. So now I cant even put the thing together. Very maddening and upsetting. I would think that an item of this price would not be shipped in a box that isnt put together securely and that the small pieces would be in a secure bag. I am hoping that I will get a repacement on the pieces.

Good product, the HDC 350 lb. Load Capacity Flatbed Garden Wagon. But one bad thing tires go flat and will not seal back to rim.

The wagon wasn't too hard to put together, although the instructions which were clearly created in China, were not as helpful or clear as they could have been. Once assembled, the wagon worked well. One of the tires was flat, and apparently has a hole in the tube, but not a big concern. The only substantial improvement I would suggest would be a slightly higher rail around the edged of the wagon bed, which would make it easier to haul stuff without it falling off.

I ordered the wagon Saturday 4/26 and got it Wednesday 4/30. It only cost $64.99 with free shipping. That was the good part. The bad part was when the "flimsy for what was inside" box arrived it had rips which caused washers to fall out as I carried it in the house. I was pissed. If there is anything more fustrating is trying to assemble something with missing parts. If the company put the parts in a strong sealed bad that would have helped. As it turns out small parts were just floating around inside the box. Assembly took under two hours including finding replacement nuts and bolts.

The best way to assemble it is to forget about reading the instructions and just follow the diagram which should have been shown upside down just like how you are assembling it. Bending brackets slightly to align the steering parts was necessary as well as installing washers between moving parts to ease the movement. Don't tighten too much or binding will occur. Lube with WD-40. The wagon itself is a very good value. The instructions says capacity 600 lbs., but the ads and box says 350 lbs. I would estimated a maximum working range of 450 lbs. The pneumatic tires work well as does the steering. The wagon itself is a very good value, and I am glad I bought it. After using it awhile I will forget about the shipping drama.
